Etymology

Came into English via Middle English swith, swithe, from Old English swīþe ("very much, exceedingly, severely, violently, fiercely"), from Proto-West Germanic *swinþā, from Proto-Germanic *swinþê ("strongly"), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *swento- ("active, healthy"). It is cognate with Saterland Frisian swied ("very"), West Frisian swiid ("very"), Dutch zwijd ("very, extremely"), Low German swied ("quite, very"), and Dutch gezwind ("quick, swift"), and is not related to the superficially similar English swift.
