Swung open

When we say the door swung open, does it mean that the doors keeps moving back and forth after it was pushed open?

  

Top answer

No, it would normally be taken to mean that it stayed open, or at the very most it closed afterwards. It wouldn't normally suggest any repeated back and forth motion.
