springing
Launching into air
Springing is the action of jumping, leaping, or moving suddenly—the present participle of spring.
In architecture, springing refers to the point where an arch or vault rises from its support: the springing of the arch.
The term captures both continuous motion (He was springing from rock to rock) and the technical moment where a curve begins its upward sweep.
