Peregrinate (verb)

per-eg-rin-ayt

To travel or wander from place to place, especially on foot.

from the Latin peregrinari, meaning to travel abroad or to journey. This, in turn, is derived from peregrinus, which means foreign or traveller. The root is a combination of “per-” (through, beyond) and “ager” (field, land), implying movement across lands.

It entered English in the late 16th century, often used in a literary sense to describe extensive wandering or travels.

Example sentences

“They spent years peregrinating across Europe in their camper van, discovering hidden gems along the way.”
