Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Old Northern French 'escaper' and Vulgar Latin *excapare (from *ex- 'out of' + cappa 'cape' or 'cloak'), literally meaning to get out of one's cape when caught. Entering Middle English in the 13th century, the term broadened from physically slipping away from captors to encompass avoiding any unpleasant situation or abstract confinement.
