A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “swear” refers to making a solemn declaration or affirmation, often under oath, that a statement or testimony is true and accurate. This act is typically done in a formal legal setting, such as a courtroom or during the taking of a deposition, and carries legal consequences for providing false information.
Example: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
