- 1巡迴的、四處奔波工作的（如巡迴教師；偏書面）
A peripatetic person travels from place to place to do their job, instead of staying in one office, one school, or one shop. In British English especially, a peripatetic teacher moves between schools — a music teacher who visits three schools in one week, for example. It can also be a noun: “a peripatetic” meaning that kind of worker. It is a rather educated, slightly old-fashioned word. Most people would just say “travelling,” “on the road,” or “who goes from place to place.” Though actually, the word is older than modern jobs: it first described Aristotle’s school in Athens, because he walked around as he taught. That “walking around” picture is still inside the word, even when we use it for someone who drives from school to school.
組成古希臘文 peri（周圍）+ pateō（走）：「走來走去」。經拉丁文 peripatēticus、法文 péripatétique 進入英語。

historicalA disciple of Aristotle.
- And though it be True indeed, that some Aristotelians have occasionally written against the Chymical Doctrine he Oppugnes, yet since they have done it according to their Principles, And since our Carneades must as well oppose their Hypothesis as that of the Spagyrist, he was fain to fight his Adverfaries with their own Weapons, Those of the Peripatetick being Improper, if not hurtfull for a Person of his Tenents ; besides that those Aristotelians, (at Least, those he met with,) that have written against the Chymists, seem to have had so little Experimental Knowledge in Chymical Matters, that by their frequent Mistakes and unskilfull way of Oppugning, they have too often expos'd Themselves to the Derision of their Adversaries, for writing so Confidently against what they appear so little to understand.
