"Sprunt is an old Scots word (from Roxburgh, to be precise) meaning "to chase girls around among the haystacks after dark". I would dearly love to have lived in a time and a place where this was such an everyday activity that they needed a single-syllable word for it. Old dialect words give us a glimpse of lost worlds, and sprunt is my favourite glimpse." theguardian/books/booksblog/2013/oct/09/mark-forsyth-the-horologicon-top-10-lost-words?CMP=twt_gu
