1. 1

    A tramp is an old-fashioned word for a person who has no home and no job, and who travels from place to place, sometimes sleeping outside — similar to 'a homeless ,' though it can sound rougher or less polite than 'homeless person' does today. As a verb, 'to tramp' means to walk with slow, heavy, tired steps, especially for a long distance — 'they tramped through the mud for hours.' There's also an older, slang use where 'tramp' is thrown at a woman as an insult, calling her sexually loose — this use can be quite offensive, so it's good to know it exists, but not one to use.

    (舊式說法)流浪漢;或指沉重緩慢地走;(俚語、冒犯)水性楊花的女人

組成Possibly from old Germanic words meaning 'to stamp' or 'tread heavily' — the walking sense may be the original idea, with the 'homeless wanderer' meaning growing out of 'someone who tramps from place to place.'
