What does DECAMP mean in Scrabble?
verb
To leave a place suddenly or secretly, or to pack up and leave a camp.
The word began in military and travel use, where decamp meant striking a camp and moving off, often at night. Today it more often describes someone slipping away unannounced, perhaps with something that was not theirs. It suggests haste or secrecy rather than a planned, public departure, which makes it a favourite of storytellers.
