Walks around without a specific direction or purpose, or lets your mind drift away from what you're supposed to be doing.
From Old English 'wandrian,' possibly related to German 'wandern.' The meaning has stayed remarkably consistent since it first appeared in English around 1000 CE.
Studies show that 'wandering minds' aren't lazy — they're actually a sign of creative thinking, which is why some of history's best ideas came to people when they were daydreaming or taking pointless walks!
