Etymology

From Late Primitive Irish *sworn (around AD 500), from Middle Primitive Irish *swornah (around AD 475), from Early Primitive Irish *swurnus (around AD 450), borrowed from Latin furnus.[1] The irregular replacement of Latin f- with Primitive Irish sw- was likely on analogy with Primitive Irish words (such as the ancestor of siur and seir) that regularly alternated between unlenited *sw- (yielding Old Irish s-) and lenited *hw- (yielding Old Irish f-). Confer Old Irish sroigell from Latin flagellum.
