hopscotch in the woods

‘i cling to the optimistic belief that the haphazard and the hopscotch,
the creature that sips among many flowers, may actually come up with something.’

I wonder where the word “hopscotch” came from.

From Albany.edu. The English term “Hopscotch” comes from “hop” meaning “to jump” and “escocher”, an Old French word meaning “to cut.” (I don’t get the last part; maybe the game was played differently back then.)

I am glad I did my hopscotching when I was young. Now it would lead to the very dangerous game of Faceplanting.

Tempting, but it looks like a tripping hazard. With my luck, I’d end up in a patch of poison ivy.
