Etymology of ESCAPES

The word "escape" originated from the Middle English word "escapen", which evolved from the Old North French word "escaper". In turn, "escaper" derived from the Vulgar Latin word "excappare", a combination of the prefix "ex-" meaning "out of" and the Late Latin word "cappa" meaning "cloak" or "hood". The notion behind this etymology is that when one escapes, they slip out from under a metaphorical cloak or hood, running away or avoiding capture.
