A quick definition of swear:

Swear: When someone swears, it means they promise to tell the truth. This is important in many situations, like when someone is in court and needs to tell the truth about what they saw or heard. Sometimes, people also swear when they start a new job or take on an important role, like the President of the United States. When they swear, they promise to do their best and follow the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Swear is the act of taking an oath or making a promise. This is often done in a formal setting, such as when someone is starting a new job or testifying in court. When someone swears, they are making a solemn commitment to tell the truth or fulfill their duties.

Example: When a new President is inaugurated, they must swear an oath of office. This means they promise to uphold the Constitution and serve the country to the best of their ability. Another example is when a witness takes the stand in court. They must swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This is important because it helps ensure that justice is served and that people are held accountable for their actions.

The examples illustrate how swearing is a formal and serious commitment. When someone swears, they are making a promise that they will do something or act in a certain way. This is important in many settings, such as government, law, and business, where people need to be held accountable for their actions and decisions.
