A: The current use of "swag" is most likely to have come from the word "swagger": to conduct oneself in an arrogant or superciliously pompous manner. Basically, to walk with an air of overbearing self-confidence.
- So this meaning got carried over to a person's personality or attitude in general, which they imagine to be "cool and confident".
