Word origin

The word 'caper' has its origins in the late Middle English period and can be traced back to the Latin word 'caper,' which means 'goat.' This connection to goats is believed to come from their playful and bounding movement, reminiscent of the action described by the verb. The term evolved in English to refer not only to the leaps made by goats but also to similar lively movements made by humans and other animals. The incorporation of capering behaviors into the vernacular reflects the influence of pastoral life, where the joy and agility of animals like goats provided inspiration for human expression. Over the centuries, 'caper' has taken on varied meanings, including connotations of mischievous behavior, which is often reflected in storytelling and folklore.
