scamperv.

Brit.

/ˈskampə/, U.S.

/ˈskæmpər/

Etymology: Of uncertain origin. In our quots. first recorded in 1687, but very common between that date and 1700. Not improbably the word was originally military slang, either from obsolete Dutch schampen ‘to escape or flie, or to be gone’ (Hexham 1660), which is < Old French escamper to decamp, or from Italian scampare to decamp, run away: see discamp v. A less likely, though possible, supposition is that it represents a Middle English derivative of the Old French word, preserved in some non-literary dialect.

†1. intransitive. To run away, decamp, ‘bolt’. Obsolete.
