Answer

CAPER

CAPER has two distinct meanings in English. As a noun, it can mean a playful skip or leap, or more broadly, a lighthearted adventure or illegal scheme. It also refers to the pickled flower buds of the caper bush, a popular ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine often used in dishes like chicken piccata or on bagels with lox.
