Extravagating

/ɪkˈstrævəɡeɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of extravagate; currently wandering, exceeding bounds, or behaving excessively.

Etymology

From 'extravagate' + '-ing' (present participle suffix), describing the ongoing action of wandering beyond proper limits.

Kelly Says

The '-ing' form of this archaic verb captures a continuous action of boundary-breaking that's baked into the word's origin—it's not a one-time wander, but an ongoing tendency to stray.
