Etymology
The word 'scampering' comes from the Middle English word 'scamperen', which means 'to run away, to flee'. Its origins can be traced back to the late 14th century, possibly derived from the Old Provenรงal 'escampaar', meaning 'to escape' or 'to flee'. The term evolved throughout the years, maintaining the essence of quick and light movement, often associated with children playing or small animals in a state of excitement or exuberance. Initially, the word might have been more commonly related to flight or escape but has since broadened to encompass any form of quick and lively movement.
