1. peripatetic

   Peripatetic is an adjective that typically refers to someone who moves or travels from place to place. It can describe a nomadic or wandering lifestyle or behavior, especially related to work or activity that requires travel. Additionally, it can refer to the philosophical school founded by Aristotle, as he would walk around (peripateo in Greek) the Lyceum in Athens while teaching. Hence, his followers were known as the "peripatetics".
