means To pass over something, jump past it, or move ahead without engaging the intervening steps.
from From Middle English skippen, 'to spring or leap,' likely borrowed from a Scandinavian source — compare Old Norse skopa, 'to take a run.' Its earliest sense was bodily: the literal hop of a child, a stone, or a lamb. The modern flavor — skipping a track, a meal, a meeting, a line of text — grew from that same lightness: to leap over rather than walk through.
