短释义:
A swoop is an impressive movement best demonstrated by a bird. If a bird is high in the air, then moves down quickly, making an arc or loop, that’s an example of a swoop. People can also swoop — three muggers might swoop in on a victim, for example. The phrase “one fell swoop” means “all at once,” and Shakespeare used it first, in “Macbeth:” “What, All my pretty Chickens, and their Dam, At one fell swoop?”
摇摆的是快速而急剧地向下移动,就像一只鹰向下捕捉猎物一样。

词源:
swoop(v.)1560s, “move or walk in a stately manner,” apparently from a dialectal survival of Old English swapan “to sweep, brandish, dash,” from Proto-Germanic *swaip-, which is perhaps from a PIE root *swei- “to bend, turn” (but see swing (v.)).
The meaning “pounce upon with a sweeping movement,” in reference to a bird of prey, is by 1630s, from swoop (n.). The spelling with -oo- may have been influenced by Scottish and northern England dialectal soop “to sweep,” from Old Norse sopa “to sweep.” Related: Swooped; swooping.also from 1560s
下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
Swoop(v。)1560年代“以一种庄重的方式移动或行走”,显然是从古老的英语swapan的辩证生存中“到扫扫,挥舞着,挥舞着,dash”,从proto-germanic *swaip-,这可能是来自派的根 *swei- swei-“ to swei-” to nok to nok thor turn turn turn turn turn turn”(请参见swing(v。关于猛禽的意思是“用扫地的动作扑向一只猛禽”,到1630年代,来自Swoop(n。)。用-OO-的拼写可能受到苏格兰和北英格兰的方言Soop的影响,“从旧的北欧索帕”扫荡到“扫荡”。相关:挥杆; Swooping。也从1560年代开始
