Etymology

The term 'elope' has its origins in the Middle French word 'aloper,' which means to 'run away' or 'to leap away.' This word traces back to the Old French 'aloper,' which literally translates to 'to flee.' The adoption of the term into English occurred around the early 18th century, where it came to specifically refer to the act of a couple running away to marry without parental approval. Over time, the connotation of elopement has evolved, shifting from a more secretive and possibly scandalous act to one that can also be viewed as a romantic gesture. In contemporary culture, eloping has become popular among couples seeking simplicity or intimacy in their marriage experience, often favoring unique locations or private ceremonies that focus on their love for one another rather than traditional wedding conventions.
