The word "swilled" originates from the Middle English term "swilen", which came from the Old Norse word "svillt". "Svillt" meant to bring forth or wash away liquid, and it is related to the Old English word "swilian", meaning to wash. Over time, "swill" developed into a term describing the act of drinking greedily or without much regard, particularly in relation to alcohol consumption. Eventually, this gave rise to the word "swilled" as an adjective, implying excessive or careless drinking.
