| Aug 25, 2012 at 0:57 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Mark Beadles: I refrained from voting to close on the off-chance there's a word more specifically fitting OP's concept. I don't really approve of these "please identify the word matching my description" questions anyway. It's just turning ELU into a human-powered reverse dictionary | |

| Aug 25, 2012 at 0:34 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | You would have identified the word "jump". But that's always supposing there is a word meeting the definition - a single correct one, at that, otherwise you could only suggest a possible answer. If I'd said "The action of propelling one self from a surface using arm muscles" you couldn't identify the word. You might guess "brachiate", but who's to say whether I would accept that as "the correct answer"? I'm not sure this is a constructive question. | |
