Its primary meaning has consistently referred to the physical act of jumping or leaping, while over time it developed extended figurative uses, such as to skip over something or to describe sudden variations like in prices or rhythms. The character's form has remained stable, with its components clearly delineating its association with motion and its auditory cue.
