English

Etymology

Middle English (early 13th century) pilegrim, from Old French pelegrin (11th century), from Latin peregrinus (“foreigner”) (English peregrine (“wandering”)), a derivation from per-egre; see per- + agri (“field, farm”) (from which English agri- (“farming”)).

The change of -r...r- to -l...r- is an effect of dissimilation in early Romance; compare Italian cognate pellegrino.
