Etymology

The term 'scanter' is believed to be derived from the Middle English word 'scant', which means 'barely sufficient' or 'not enough'. This could relate to the sense of moving quickly but not necessarily with great momentum. As English evolved, the term took on a more specific connotation related to movement, particularly in connection to horses. The evolution of the word reflects the cultural significance of equestrian activities throughout history. In various texts, particularly those focused on nature or elegance in movement, 'scanter' would be employed to beautifully illustrate speed in a less intense manner. Usage in literature has remained limited, making it a more niche term in modern English.
