Walking or traveling aimlessly or with frequent stops; wandering around without a clear destination or purpose.
Of uncertain origin, possibly from Dutch or related to 'trapes.' The word appeared in English in the 1600s meaning to walk about idly or wander.
Traipsing is one of those words that sounds exactly like what it means—it has a bouncy, wandering quality in how it sounds, which is why it's often used in children's books and comedies.
