Word origin

The word 'escaped' originates from the Middle French word 'escaper', which derived from Latin 'excapare'. The Latin term is comprised of 'ex', meaning 'out of', and 'capere', meaning 'to seize'. Over time, the term evolved in English to denote the act of breaking free from captivity or confinement. Its first known use in English dates back to the late 14th century and has undergone various transformations in meaning throughout literature and popular language. The essence of the word has remained centered on the idea of freedom and movement away from danger or restraint, encapsulating both physical and emotional escapes.
