The word "escapers" is the plural form of the noun "escaper". The etymology of "escaper" can be traced back to the verb "escape", which originated from the Old North French word "escaper" meaning "to escape" or "to flee". This in turn comes from Vulgar Latin "ex-cappare", formed by combining the Latin prefix "ex" meaning "out of" and "cappa" meaning "cloak" or "cover". Over time, "escaper" transformed into a noun to refer to someone who escapes or flees from a particular situation, and the plural form "escapers" denotes more than one individual who escapes or has escaped.
