Verb

IPA: /ˈʃvaːnən/ Audio: De-schwanen.ogg
Etymology: Sometimes taken as a loan from Middle Low German, but first attestations are nearly contemporaneous (1514 for Low German, 1543 for High German, according to Grimm). Semantic derivation disputed. The Duden dictionary suspects a learned jocular translation from Latin olet mihi (“I smell [something]”) (with dative construction as in German), due to phonetic similarity of Latin olēre (“to smell”) and olor (“swan”). Grimm however, because of the early and near-contemporaneous attestations in different regions, sees it as an inherited word of the common people, connecting it to the traditional Germanic association of swans with prophecy and fate (cf. the Norns) and pointing to the synonymous expression Schwansfedern haben/tragen (literally “to have/wear swan's feathers”). Earlier variants contain -d- (schwanden, Low German swanden), probably under influence of ahnden, a once common variant of ahnen (“to anticipate, to suspect”).

Semantic derivation disputed. The Duden dictionary suspects a learned jocular translation from Latin olet mihi (“I smell [something]”) (with dative construction as in German), due to phonetic similarity of Latin olēre (“to smell”) and olor (“swan”). Grimm however, because of the early and near-contemporaneous attestations in different regions, sees it as an inherited word of the common people, connecting it to the traditional Germanic association of swans with prophecy and fate (cf. the Norns) and pointing to the synonymous expression Schwansfedern haben/tragen (literally “to have/wear swan's feathers”). Earlier variants contain -d- (schwanden, Low German swanden), probably under influence of ahnden, a once common variant of ahnen (“to anticipate, to suspect”).",
