I have a question about the etymology of the word "swag".

Swag is a slang term for money or goods that are given away as a promotional tactic. The word swag originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and was originally used to refer to free samples of products such as food, clothing, and cosmetics. In recent years, the term has been used to describe any free gift or bonus that is given away by a company or organization.
