Etymology

The word 'scamp' has its origins in the early 19th century, deriving from the Italian 'scampare', which means 'to escape' or 'to run away'. Over time, it evolved in English to signify a mischievous or playful individual, often a child or youth. The verb form took on the meaning of moving quickly, capturing the essence of both speed and a carefree spirit. In literature, it has been used to convey lively characters who engage in playful antics. Its playful connotation stays with today's usage, often providing joy and imagery of youthful exuberance.
