Question

peripatetic She spent her early adult years as a peripatetic musician, traveling from one engagement to another. ˌpɛrəpəˈtɛtɪk

Accepted Answer

(1) Having to do with walking. (2) Moving or traveling from place to place. The philosopher Aristotle had his school at the Lyceum gymnasium in Athens. The Lyceum may have resembled the Parthenon in being surrounded by a row of columns, or colonnade, which the Greeks would have called a peripatoi. Aristotle was also said to have paced slowly while teaching, and the Greek word for “pacing” was peripatos. And finally, peripatos meant simply “discussion.” Whatever the source of the word, Aristotle and his followers became known as the Peripatetics, and the “pacing” sense led to peripatetic's English meaning of traveling or moving about. Johnny Appleseed is a good example of a peripatetic soul, and peripatetic executives and salespeople today stare into their laptop computers while endlessly flying from city to city
