ankled
Departed on foot
Ankled is a verb meaning to walk or go somewhere, typically at a leisurely pace.
It derives from treating the body part as an instrument of locomotion, much like legged or footed.
The term has a slightly old-fashioned or literary flavor, appearing most often in entertainment journalism of the mid-twentieth century to describe someone departing a studio or project: She ankled the production after creative differences with the director.
