A person who walks on secondary paths or byways, or someone who frequents minor routes.
Compound of 'bywalk' and the agent suffix '-er' (Old English '-ere'). This creates a term for someone characterized by walking on side paths or byways.
In an age before Google Maps, 'bywalkers' were people who knew the secret routes through cities—they were the real navigation experts, not the ones on main streets!
