Etymology of SKIPPED

The word "skipped" is derived from the Old Norse word "skopa", which means "to run and leap, or to skip". This word ultimately comes from the Proto-Germanic word "skupaną", meaning "to leap or run". The term evolved over time in English, retaining its original meaning of leaping or jumping lightly, and eventually becoming the word "skip" in Middle English. The past tense form "skipped" emerged in the 16th century.
