Word origin

The word 'romp' originated in the mid-19th century, deriving from the British dialect. It is believed to be a combination of the word 'ramp', which means to frolic or to play in a rough manner, and the suffix '-p', which was often used to give a playful connotation to words. The playful nature of the term aligns well with its meanings, implying movements that are lively and often unrestrained. As a result, 'romp' became commonly used to describe carefree playing, especially among children and animals. Over the decades, the word maintained its essence of joyful exuberance and developed various derivatives and forms, including the adjective 'romping', which captures the essence of such spirited activity.
