Definition of peregrinate
intransitive verb
transitive verb
Did you know?
We begin our narrative of the linguistic travels of peregrinate with the Latin word peregrinatus , the past participle of peregrinari , which means "to travel in foreign lands." The verb is derived from the Latin word for "foreigner," peregrinus , which was earlier used as an adjective meaning "foreign."That term also gave us the words pilgrim and peregrine , the latter of which once meant "alien" but is now used as an adjective meaning "tending to wander" and as a noun naming a kind of falcon. (The peregrine falcon is so named because it was traditionally captured during its first flight—or pilgrimage—from the nest.)

- pass (over)
