1471-Caller-Britney-Skedaddle by A Way with Words

The origin of skedaddle, meaning to “run away in a panic” or “flee,” has proved elusive. Renowned etymologist Anatoly Liberman suggests it may be related to a Scottish term, skeindaddle, meaning “to spill.” Its popularity in the United States took off during the Civil War. http://waywordradio. via Pocket http://ift.tt/2pVSIjf
