Chanzo cha msemo huo, chaangalia uondokaji wa mtu ambao ni wa kazi kutoka sehemu aliyokuwepo. Uondokaji huo, waweza kuwa wa kukimbia, au wa kutembea kwa haraka. Uondoka wa anina hiyo, ndio unaoitwa wa mkikimkiki. Ndiyo maana watu wale aliowaacha mtu huyo, husema, ‘ameondoka mkikimkiki.’

Msemo huo, hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye, ameelemewa na tatizo au neno fulani, ambalo ni zito kwake, mpaka akaamua kuondoka. Mtu huyo, hushindwa kugundua njia nyingine ya kulitatulia tatizo hilo. Hali hiyo, husababisha kwake kufikia uamuzi wa kutoka kwa kazi, kwa sababu ya kulemewa na tatizo au kazi hiyo. Ndiyo maana, watu husema juu ya mtu huyo, kwamba, ‘ameondoka mkikimkiki.’

Msemo huo, hufundisha watu juu ya kuwa na uvumilivu wa kuwawezesha kutafuta njia za kuyatatua vizuri matatizo waliyonayo, badala ya kuyakimbia, ili waweze kuziendeleza vizuri familia zao.
