Wegloopt

Wegloopt is not a standard Dutch word. It is typically encountered as a misspelling or misreading of the separable verb weglopen, which means to walk away or to run away from a place or situation.

In Dutch, separable prefixes like weg- are part of the infinitive as one word (weglopen) but are split in finite forms: hij loopt weg. Therefore, the single-word form wegloopt is not the correct orthography in standard Dutch. When you see wegloopt in text, it is usually a typographical error or a result of incorrect automatic concatenation.

Etymology and morphology: weg loopt combines weg (away) with lopen (to walk/run). Correct tense forms include loopt weg (present singular) and lopen weg (present plural or with other subjects). The past participle is weggelopen. The form wegloopt lacks a recognized lexical meaning beyond being a nonstandard representation of the verb.

Usage and interpretation: If encountered in Dutch writing, it should typically be corrected to eitherloopt weg or weglopen, depending on the sentence structure. In non-Dutch contexts, Wegloopt may appear as a proper noun, such as a surname or place name, in which case its meaning is unrelated to the verb and depends on the specific name.
