-* L'escampette is French for "The Escape".
+* The word "<span lang="fr">escampette</span>" comes from the old fashioned French idiom "<span lang="fr">prendre la poudre d'escampette</span>" ("to take the powder of 'escampette'"), which means "to escape". The word itself isn't really used in any other context in the language, and can be roughly translated to "little escape" or "little getaway".
