Etymology: Its exact origin is unclear. "Swonking" is an informal British word meaning "enormous," used mostly in speech and casual writing, and it has no well-documented history in the standard dictionaries. The word is probably a dialect or slang formation, and its sound resembles several older English words, but none of those links can be confirmed. The closest relative with a traceable history is "swingeing," meaning "severe" or "huge," which comes from the Old English verb "swingan," to beat or strike. Whether "swonking" descends from it, or simply shares its sound and sense by coincidence, is not known.
