brown-speckled European lark noted for singing while hovering at a great height
A small brown passerine bird, Alauda arvensis, that sings as it flies high into the air.
To jump about joyfully, frolic; to play around, play tricks.
The word skylark comes from combining "sky" and "lark." Its verb sense, first recorded in 1809, originally had a nautical meaning that may have been influenced by an Old Norse root related to playing.
