A person without a home or steady job who wanders from place to place; also, wandering or roaming without direction.
From Latin 'vagrans,' present participle of 'vagari' (to wander). The root 'vag-' appears in 'vague' and 'vagabond,' all meaning wandering or aimless.
The word 'vague' and 'vagrant' share the same Latin root because both describe something without clear boundaries—one in meaning, one in location.
