lang thang
/ˈerənt//ˈerənt/The word "errant" has a fascinating history! It originated from the Old French word "erret," which means "wandering" or "roaming." This Old French term is derived from the Latin phrase "errare," meaning "to wander" or "to stray." In the 14th century, the English language borrowed the French word "erret" and adapted it into the Modern English term "errant." Initially, the word "errant" referred to someone who wandered aimlessly or strayed from the right path. Over time, its meaning expanded to describe things that were not exactly in their intended place or didn't live up to expectations. For instance, an errant arrow might stray from its target, or a person could be described as an errant individual who doesn't follow the rules. Today, the word "errant" can be used in various contexts to describe mistakes, missteps, or things that don't quite fit. Isn't linguistics fascinating?
