- 1巡迴的；流動的（為了工作到處走，如巡迴教師、巡迴演出）
Itinerant describes a person who travels from place to place to work, rather than staying in one town. An itinerant teacher may visit a different village each week. There have been itinerant farm workers who follow the harvest, itinerant musicians on the road, and, in older times, judges who moved from court to court. The word is rather formal; in everyday talk people more often say travelling or on the road. You can also use itinerant as a noun for such a person. It is not a tourist word: tourists travel for a holiday, while an itinerant life is about the work. It can sound a little old-fashioned or official, which is why news and history books like it.
組成From Late Latin itinerantem, from a verb meaning “to travel,” from itiner- (a journey, a road). By the look of the English word: Latin itiner- + -ant (a person or thing doing that).
同家族的字
