Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the verb elope, which originated in the late 16th century from Anglo-Norman 'aloper', meaning to run away. It combines the Old French prefix 'e-' (out) and the Middle Dutch 'loopen' (to run). Over time, the meaning shifted from a wife running away with a lover to anyone running away secretly to get married.
