A person who travels on foot; a pedestrian or wanderer.
From 'foot' + 'farer' (one who fares or travels), a Middle English compound now archaic, describing pilgrims and travelers without horses.
Before highways, 'footfarers' were a distinct social class—poor people, pilgrims, and outlaws—and their stories became the folklore of every culture, from Jack the Traveler to vagabonds.
