eloper

/ᵻlˈoʊpɚ/ noun

Agent noun of elope: one who elopes.

Word Origin From 'elope', which combines Latin 'ex-' 'out' and a Germanic root for 'leap' — literally 'to leap out'. Originally, to elope meant to run away secretly to marry. An eloper is one who elopes. The same root gives us 'lope' (to run with long strides), 'leap', 'interlope' (to leap between, intrude), and 'interloper'. A vivid word: you can almost see the couple leaping out of town.
