CAPER

What caper means

A playful leap or skip, or a silly prank or adventure undertaken for fun and excitement.

Where the word comes from

From Italian *cappero*, borrowed from Greek *kapparis*, referring to the prickly shrub and its edible flower buds. The Greek word itself may derive from a Semitic source, possibly related to Arabic *kabar*. The plant is native to the Mediterranean and Middle East, so the word traveled westward through trade and commerce, eventually entering English via Italian.
