"Jump over" is a phrasal verb that refers to the action of leaping or vaulting across an obstacle or barrier, securing a passage from one side to the opposite side, without touching, or surpassing, the object being cleared. It involves a physical act of propelling oneself through the air in order to bypass or cross over something.
This action typically requires a combination of leg strength and coordination to achieve the necessary lift and distance to successfully clear the obstacle. The object being jumped over could vary in nature, ranging from physical barriers like walls, fences, or ditches, to metaphorical barriers or impediments.
"Jump over" is often used in a literal sense, such as in sports like hurdles or long jump, where athletes aim to clear certain heights or distances. It can also be figuratively used to describe surpassing or overcoming obstacles, challenges, or limitations in various aspects of life, such as overcoming fears, surpassing personal goals, or advancing in one's career or education.
In summary, "jump over" is a phrasal verb encompassing the act of leaping or vaulting across an obstacle or barrier, physically or metaphorically, to successfully cross from one side to another, requiring strength, coordination, and determination.
The word "jump" comes from the Old Norse word "hoppa" which means "to hop, leap, or spring". "Over" is derived from the Old English word "ofer", meaning "above". So, the phrase "jump over" combines these two origins to express the action of leaping or hopping upwards and across something.
