Etymology

The term 'loping' originates from the mid-19th century, derived from the verb 'lope', which itself can be traced back to the early 19th century. Its roots may be connected to a blend of the word 'leap' and regional dialects describing a kind of flowing motion. The essence of loping captures not merely the action of running but the grace and ease with which it can be performed. In a broader sense, the usage of 'lope' has often been associated with the natural, rhythmic movement of animals in contrast to more abrupt or hurried forms of locomotion. Equally, loping embodies a sense of freedom and leisure, suggesting a harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment.
