LOPED Meaning and
Definition
-
Loped is a verb that refers to the act of moving or running with long, relaxed strides. It typically describes the gait or manner of movement of certain animals, especially quadrupeds such as horses, wolves, or certain large cats. When an animal lopes, it moves with smooth, bounding steps that cover a considerable distance with each stride. This movement is often characterized by a combination of speed and grace, as the animal maintains a somewhat casual and leisurely pace while covering significant ground.
The term "loped" can also be applied to human beings, although less commonly. When used to describe a person's movement, it implies a similar quality of relaxed yet swift strides. It suggests an effortless and steady manner of walking or running, with an elongated movement pattern that covers more ground than regular steps.
In a broader sense, "loped" can be used metaphorically to describe the smooth and fluid motion of certain objects or vehicles. For example, a car could be said to "lope" along the road if it maintains a continuous, unhurried pace. This connotation emphasizes a sense of steady progress and stability, akin to the deliberate yet purposeful strides of an animal loping through its habitat.
Overall, "loped" describes a rhythmic, easygoing, and often swift manner of movement by animals or humans, emphasizing grace and efficiency in covering significant distances.

The word "loped" is derived from the older term "lope", which originated in the 17th century. It originates from the Middle Dutch word "lopen" and the Middle Low German word "lopen", both of which mean "to run".
