Origin:
The origin of the word "swoop" is believed to be onomatopoeic, meaning that it imitates the sound of a bird or other animal swooping down on its prey. The word first appeared in Old English, where it was used to describe the movement of a bird or the act of snatching something.
Over time, the meaning of "swoop" expanded to include a wider range of swooping or diving actions, both in a literal and figurative sense. The word is now commonly used to describe the rapid and unexpected movements of both animals and humans, as well as sudden and aggressive actions.
