Brewer:
Skedaddle To run away, to be scattered in rout. The Scotch apply the word to the milk spilt over the pail
in carrying it. During the late American war, the New York papers said the Southern forces were
“skedaddled” by the Federals. (Saxon, scedan, to pour out; Chaldee, scheda; Greek, skeda'o, to seatter.)

No longer heard very often. Only in sense of running away to escape possible punishment.
