Did you know..?
A synonym of 'roam', 'wander' and 'ramble', 'stravage' (also spelled 'stravaig') is not a new word; our earliest evidence of it dates to the 18th century, when it likely developed by shortening and alteration from the now archaic word 'extravagate', a synonym for 'stray' and 'roam' that can also mean 'to go beyond proper limits'. Note that if you use it correctly, you won't be extravagating by using 'stravage' – no matter where you call home.
