overleaps
Bounds right across
Overleaps means jumps over or across something: The horse overleaps the fence with ease.
Figuratively, it means to skip past or bypass something, often rashly: In his ambition, he overleaps the necessary steps.
Shakespeare used it memorably—Macbeth fears his "vaulting ambition" will overleap itself and fall.
