Etymology: "Traipsings" is the plural of "traipsing," a noun meaning casual walking, usually over a long distance or with some weariness. The plural form simply names several separate outings or wanderings. The base word it comes from is "traipse," which has its own history: it is the older root from which the noun takes its meaning, and the plural adds nothing new to that sense beyond multiplicity.
