Explanation

CAVORT means to frolic, prance, or move about energetically and boldly. MANACLE means to restrain or fetter with chains - to confine movement. The antonym works by contrasting free, energetic movement with physical restraint. Frisk, gambol, and stomp all involve movement, while promenade is a leisurely walk, not restraint.
