The word "sweet", or an ancestor of it, appears to have originated in Indo-European language before any written records, since similar words, svādu and suavis can be found in Sanskrit and Latin, respectively. It comes to modern English by way of Germanic languages, probably Old Norse (sœtr) to Old Saxon (swoti) to Old Frisian (swēte) and Old English (swēte).
