Origin

Middle English (as a heraldic term): from Old French, literally 'crawling', present participle of ramper (see ramp). From the original use describing a wild animal arose the sense 'fierce', whence the current notion of 'unrestrained'.

Something rampant flourishes or spreads in an uncontrolled way. This is a development of the original use in heraldry, which described an animal, like the lion rampant of Scotland, rearing up on its left hind foot with its forefeet in the air. Its origins are much less vigorous, going back to French ramper, which means ‘to creep, crawl’, or ‘to climb’. Rampage (late 17th century), originally a Scottish word, comes from the same root, as does the ramp, used in Middle English to mean ‘to rear up’, and as a slope to get you up to another level from the late 18th century
