elopev.

/ɪˈləʊp/

Forms: Also 1500s ellope.

Etymology: In Anglo-Norman (14th cent.) aloper , perhaps < Middle English *alope(n , past participle of *aleapen ( < a- (perhaps representing and- prefix) + leap v.) = Middle Dutch ontlōpen, German entlaufen to run away; compare Old English úthléapan, the technical word for the ‘escaping’ of a thief. The assumed Middle English *alope however might stand for ilope, past participle of leapen in same sense; compare ‘þe wicke giv [was] a wei i-lope’ ( Childh. Jes. 972). The current hypothesis of derivation < Middle Dutch ontlōpen seems improbable on account of the early appearance of the word in Anglo-Norman.

1. (a) Law. Of a wife: To run away from her husband in the company of a paramour. (b) In popular language also (and more frequently) said of a woman running away from home with a lover for the purpose of being married.
