step over
Clear without jumping
To step over something is to lift your foot and leg high enough to clear an obstacle without disturbing it: She stepped over the puddle, He stepped over the sleeping dog.
The phrase implies the obstacle remains in place while you pass.
In computing, to step over is a debugging action that executes a function call without descending into its internal code, treating it as a single operation.
