I don't know if I asked this question correctly, but what is a latin stem for swap? I don't specifically need it to be just swap. You can answer my question by saying a latin stm for switch, or another adj. for swap. Please, any of you, please get back to me as soon as you can. Thanks!

The most obvious verb to use seems to me to be permutare, which can very literally mean to transform completely or to turn about, but also to exchange or swap. Its attendant noun is permutatio.
Depending on what you mean exactly I could envision constructions with transponere or some of the various verbs associated with commerce, like cambire (which is not Classical Latin but gave rise to English change).
