Etymology 2

From Middle English swounen, swonen (“to faint”), and aswoune (“in a swoon”), both ultimately from Old English ġeswōgen (“insensible, senseless, dead”), past participle of swōgan (“to make a sound, overrun, suffocate”) (compare Old English āswōgan (“to cover over, overcome”)), from Proto-West Germanic *swōgan, from Proto-Germanic *swōganą (“to make a noise”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)weh₂gʰ-.

Cognate with Low German swogen (“to sigh, groan”), Dutch zwoegen (“to groan, breathe heavily”), dialectal Norwegian søgja (“to whistle, hum, talk loudly”). More at sough.

Verb

swoon (third-person singular simple present swoons, present participle swooning, simple past and past participle swooned) (intransitive)

    Synonyms: black out, faint, pass out
  3. (by extension) To be overwhelmed by emotion, especially infatuation.
  4. To make a moan, sigh, or some other sound expressing infatuation or affection.
