The act of walking about or wandering; a leisurely walk or stroll, especially as part of daily exercise or contemplation.
From Latin 'deambulare' (to walk about), combining 'de-' (around) plus 'ambulare' (to walk). 'Ambulare' is the root of 'ambulance,' 'perambulate,' and 'amble.'
Latin gave us 'ambulare' for walking, and English combined it with 'de-' (around) to create the delightfully formal 'deambulation'—it's what philosophers did in ancient schools while discussing ideas, pacing back and forth.
