περιπλανώμαι

Translation: to saunter; to stroll; to wander; to roam (verb)

Etymology: From ancient Greek περί (peri, meaning 'around') + πλανάω (planao, meaning 'to wander, to lead astray'). The root πλαν- is related to the English word 'planet' (originally meaning 'wandering star') and 'plan' (from Latin planus via the idea of laying out a path). The prefix περί gives the sense of moving around or about, similar to English 'perimeter' and 'periphery'. This compound verb captures the leisurely, aimless quality of sauntering - moving around without a fixed destination.
