editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Italic *swordi- (“dirt”) or *swordo- (“dirty”)[1] + -ēs. Cognate with Proto-Germanic *swartaz (“black”), which could also go back to *sword-; within Latin, suāsum (“dirty gray color”) could be from the same root,[2] but this relationship is not certain since it is phonetically problematic.[1]
