In a watch or clock, the mechanism which intervenes between the motive power and regulator, and which alternately checks and releases the train, thus causing an intermittent impulse to be given to the regulator.Escapements are of various kinds, as the anchor-, chronometer-, crown-, dead-beat-, lever-, etc., escapement.[The French échappement (in quot. 1801 anglicized as echapement) occurs, as a current term in a paper dated 1716 printed in Machines approuvées par l'Académie (1735) III. 93; the etymological reference is to the regulated ‘escape’ of the toothed wheel from its detention by the pallet. The earliest instances of the word in English are in the form scapement n., though at the period to which they belong the verb scape v.¹ was already archaic in general sense.]
