Etymology

The term 'swop' is a variant of 'swap', which has its origins in Middle English. It is thought to derive from the Old English word 'swapan', which means to 'sweep' or 'swing', indicating a movement back and forth associated with exchanging items. The word became more popular in the 19th century, particularly in British English, and has since evolved into colloquial language, being used informally in conversations about barter and exchange. 'Swop' is often favored in informal contexts, especially among children and in community activities, such as swapping toys or books.
