To jump or move with quick, bounding leaps like a grasshopper.
Blend or variant of 'grasshopper' (from 'grass' + 'hopper,' one who hops) combined with 'hop' (Old English 'hopian'). Primarily literary or dialectal, appearing in 19th-century texts.
This word captures something grasshoppers actually do brilliantly—their back legs contain special spring-like proteins that store and release energy, allowing them to jump 20 times their body length in a single bound.
