To walk about; to move from place to place on foot.
From Latin deambulare, from de- (down, around) and ambulare (to walk). Related to ambulance and perambulate. The term emphasizes walking as a purposeful movement rather than random motion.
Deambulate is the fancy Latin version of 'walk around'—it's why we have ambulances (for people who can't walk), ambulatory clinics (places where you walk in and out), and perambulator (British word for baby carriage—a device for pushing around).
