To walk or move about; to move from place to place on foot.
From Latin 'ambulare' (to walk), which also gave us 'ambulance,' 'amble,' and 'somnambulism.' The term has been used in medicine for centuries to describe patient mobility.
The same Latin root 'ambulare' gave us words about walking (ambulate), sleepwalking (somnambulism), and even the word preamble (walking before/introduction)—it's Latin's favorite verb!
