Friskin

/ˈfrɪskɪn/ noun

Definition

A lively, playful movement or action; the act of frisking or moving in a frisky manner.

Etymology

From 'frisk' with participial or gerund-like suffix '-in,' an older English formation.

Kelly Says

This rare noun form captures the essence of movement itself—a friskin is the physical expression of joy, the dancing motion itself rather than just the act.
