Aswoon

/əˈswuːn/ adjective

Definition

In a state of fainting or swooning; losing or having lost consciousness.

Etymology

From 'a-' (in a state of) plus 'swoon,' from Middle English swounen, possibly from Old Norse 'sveinn' or Germanic roots meaning to swoon or faint.

Kelly Says

Romantic heroines aswoon were a staple of Victorian literature—always fainting at bad news—but the word perfectly captures that dramatic moment between consciousness and unconsciousness.
