Traveler

/ˈtrævələr/ noun

Definition

A person who journeys from place to place, especially for pleasure or business. Someone who goes on trips or voyages regularly.

Etymology

From Old French 'travaillier' meaning 'to work hard, toil,' originally from 'tripalium' (a three-staked torture device). The connection between travel and suffering reflects the historical difficulty and danger of journeys.

Kelly Says

The word 'travel' originally meant 'to suffer' or 'to toil,' sharing its root with 'travail' (painful labor). This etymology reminds us that travel was once an ordeal rather than leisure - a dangerous necessity that could easily end in death, quite different from today's tourism.
