Definition
Past tense of caper; moved in a playful, jumping, or dancing way, often in a silly or exaggerated manner.
Etymology
From 'caper,' which comes from Italian 'capriolare' meaning to leap or jump, related to 'capra' (goat). The playful movement resembles a goat's bouncing.
Kelly Says
We still use 'caper' as both a noun (a prank) and a verb (to jump around) because the movements look so much like how goats bound around!
