The original meaning was probably “alone, by himself,” hence “one who doesn't belong to any tribe” > “strange, unknown, unheard of.” Cognates include Lithuanian adjective svẽčias, noun svetỹs (“foreigner, visitor”), Proto-Slavic *svātъ < *swō-to-s “matchmaker; suitor, future spouse” (cf. Russian сват (svat)), Ancient Greek ἕτης (hétēs, “appropriate; tribesman”) (< *swe-te-s).",

Russian сват (svat)), Ancient Greek ἕτης (hétēs, “appropriate; tribesman”) (< *swe-te-s).",
