Etymology: "Forwanders" is the third-person singular present form of "forwander," meaning that it is the form used with "he," "she," or "it." The base verb comes from Middle English "forwandrien," which combined the intensifying prefix "for-" with "wander." The prefix "for-" in Middle English often carried the sense of "completely" or "to exhaustion," so the verb conveys wandering thoroughly or wearing oneself out by wandering.

Synonyms: strays, wanders astray, roams
