There are various interpretation of the word 'swag' From the Australian slang term meaning tramping about carrying personal belongings, to an Old English term meaning a depression filled with water, to an ornamental festoon of fruit or drapery or a swaying movement from side to side. Language develops and sometimes for reasons that are not recorded. The word 'swag' in it's original form may have been adopted from the Norwegian word 'swagge' meaning 'to sway'.
