Short trips or journeys taken for pleasure, exploration, or a specific purpose, usually returning to the starting point.
From Latin 'excurrere' meaning 'to run out,' composed of 'ex-' (out) and 'currere' (to run). Evolved to mean a diversion or side trip.
The same root 'currere' that gives us 'excursion' also spawned 'currency' and 'current'—all about something that 'runs' or moves!
