SWUNG Meaning and Definition

  1. Swung is the past tense and past participle of the verb "swing." It refers to the action of moving something or someone back and forth or from one place to another in a smooth, sweeping motion. This movement is typically characterized by a suspension from a fixed point or pivot, creating a pendulum-like motion. Swung can also be associated with changes in direction, position, or opinion.

    In the physical sense, swung often describes the act of moving a body or object by forcefully propelling it from side to side, usually with a rotary or arcing motion. For instance, a person may swing a baseball bat, a child might swing on a playground swing, or a door can swing open or shut.

    The term "swung" can also describe a figurative action or change. It can indicate a fluctuation or shift in attitude, emotion, or opinion. For example, if someone was initially undecided about a certain issue, they might have "swung" to one side after learning more information.

    Furthermore, swung can denote a past action that was executed with great energy, enthusiasm, or force. For instance, a tennis player might have swung their racket aggressively to hit a powerful shot, or a performer could have swung their arms and danced energetically on a stage. In summary, swung is a versatile term that encompasses a wide range of movements and changes, both in the physical and metaphorical sense.
