Word of the Day
peregrination
In Case You're Wandering Word of the Day:
Today's noun is the result of an add-on to a 16th century borrowing from French: the adjective peregrine, "tending to wander," which may be familiar from the falcon that bears this epithet. The next formation was peregrinate, "travel or wander," and soon thereafter, the peregrination was born: a wandering journey. The word pilgrim is distantly related.
