"swager" meaning in English

See swager in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈswɛ(ː)ɡ(.)ə(ɹ)/ [Midlands], /ˈswäɡ(.)əɹ/ (note: rural areas of Scotland) Forms: swagers [plural]
Etymology: Recorded in neither Old English nor Middle English. Perhaps a borrowing from Dutch or Low German, but this derivation is rather unlikely due to the presence of the words like sweyr (“mother-in-law”) and swier (“father-in-law”) in some East Midlands dialects, which are derived from attested Old English and Middle English words sweger and sweor, respectively. Ultimately derived from Proto-Germanic *swēgraz (“husband's brother”), from Proto-Indo-European *swéḱuros (“husband's father”).
