To move by swinging from one handhold to another, similar to how primates swing through branches.
From Greek 'batrachos' (frog) + Latin '-ate' (verb suffix). The term originally referred to frog-like movement but evolved to describe brachiating locomotion in primates.
Gibbons are masters of brachiation—they can swing at speeds up to 30 miles per hour through the forest canopy while barely touching a branch, making them nature's acrobats!
