skedaddlev.

/skɪˈdad(ə)l/
Forms: Also skeedadle, skiddaddle.
Etymology: probably a fanciful formation. ‘Said to be of Swedish and Danish origin, and to have been in common use for several years throughout the Northwest, in the vicinity of immigrants from those nations’ (Webster, 1864); but there are no forms in Swedish or Danish sufficiently near to be seriously taken into account. There is some slight evidence of the currency of the word in English and Scottish dialect use before it became prominent in America, but it is doubtful how far this is of importance for its origin.
colloquial.
1. intransitive. Of soldiers, troops, etc.: To retreat or retire hastily or precipitately; to flee. Originally U.S. military slang, introduced during the Civil War of 1861–5.
