Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English swappen (to swap), originally meaning "to hurl" or "to strike", the word alludes to striking hands together when making an exchange; probably from Old English *swappian, a secondary form of Old English swāpan (to swoop). Cognate with schwappen. Compare also swippen, from swipian, svipa. More at swipe.
