Webster's 1828 Dictionary

SWAMP

n.Spungy land; low ground filled with water; soft wet ground. In New England, I believe this word is never applied to marsh, or the boggy land made by the overflowing of salt water, but always to low soft ground in the interior country; wet and spungy land, but not usually covered with water. This is the true meaning of the word. Swamps are often mowed. In England, the word is explained in books by boggy land, morassy or marshy ground.

 

SWAMP

v.t.To plunge, whelm or sink in a swamp; to plunge into difficulties inextricable.

 

SWAMPY

a.Consisting of swamp; like a swamp; low, wet and spungy; as swampy land.

 

SWAMP-ORE

n.In mineralogy, an ore of iron found in swamps and morasses; called also bog-ore, or indurated bog iron ore. Its color is a dark yellowish brown or gray; its fracture is earthy, and it contains so much phosphoric acid as to injure its tenacity.
