About

The word "大摇大摆" is formed by duplicating the structure "大" (meaning "big" or "great") followed by a verb, specifically pairing "摇" (to sway) and "摆" (to swing), where both verbs describe similar physical motions; this duplication intensifies the actions to convey a manner of walking that is exaggerated and ostentatious.
