Best Answer

A child that is switched at birth with a fairy child (fairy here refers to any being from the unnatural world).

Originally this was said so that severely deformed new-borns could be immediately killed - to spare the mother's feelings that it was her child being killed. The idea was subsequently romanticized and developed into stories of human children raised amongst the fairies.
