Traveling from place to place, especially for work; not settled in one location. Often describes workers, performers, or others whose profession requires constant movement.
From Latin 'itinerantem' meaning 'traveling,' from 'iter' (journey, road). The word entered English in the late 16th century, originally describing traveling judges and preachers who moved from town to town.
Think of 'itinerary' - your travel plan! An itinerant person lives their whole life following itineraries, never staying put. Picture a traveling circus performer who's always packing up and moving to the next town.
