A ROPE USED TO SECURE EQUIPMENT ON A CART WAS KNOWN AS a skip rope. Can this be the origin of skipping rope?

    Very unlikely.

    Skipping - walking with hopping steps - is just about as old as walking on two legs.

    Skipping objects or a rope is just a simple progression of skipping as a form of play or sport.
