Etymology of SWAMPED
The word "swamped" is derived from the verb "swamp", which originated in the mid-17th century.
The term "swamp" can be traced back to the Dutch word "swamp" or "swap", which means a region of low-lying wetlands or marshy area. The Dutch word itself might have been influenced by the older origins, possibly a combination of Old Norse "sveppr" (sponge) and Middle Low German "swam" (swamp).
Over time, "swamp" evolved to refer metaphorically to situations or conditions where one feels overwhelmed or flooded by a great amount of work, tasks, or responsibilities. Thus, the adjective "swamped" emerged to describe being heavily burdened or overwhelmed, usually in relation to work or obligations.
