Etymology edit
Borrowed from German schwieger- (“-in-law”), extracted from Schwiegermutter (“mother-in-law”), older Schwieger, from Proto-Germanic *swegrō, cognate with Old English sweġer. The word goes back to Proto-Indo-European *sweḱrúh₂ (“mother-in-law”), hence Latin socrus), Ancient Greek ἑκύρα (hekúra), Sanskrit श्वश्रूः (śvaśrū́ḥ). It is further related to *swéḱuros (“father-in-law”) (German Schwäher, Latin socer) and Proto-Indo-European *swēḱurós (“husband's brother”) (German Schwager, hence Danish svoger).
