Roamed

/roʊmd/ verb

Definition

Wandered or traveled around without a specific destination or purpose.

Etymology

From Old English 'rōm,' meaning space or room. The verb developed from the noun, meaning to move freely through space without constraint.

Kelly Says

The word 'roam' comes from 'room'—originally you 'roamed' in a 'room' of space, and that's why birds on cell networks that move between carriers are called 'roaming'—they're using space freely.
