The word for today is…

escapade (noun) – An adventurous, unconventional act or undertaking.

Source : [The Free Dictionary](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/escapade?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : When it was first used in English, escapade referred to an act of escaping or fleeing from confinement or restraint. The relationship between escape and escapade does not end there. Both words derive from the Vulgar Latin verb excappare, meaning “to escape,” a product of the Latin prefix ex- and the Late Latin noun cappa, meaning “head covering or cloak.” While escape took its route through Anglo-French and Middle English, however, escapade made its way into English by way of the Spanish escapar (“to escape”) and the French escapade.
