Etymology 1

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *erzāō,^[1] from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ers-eh₂ye-ti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ers-.^[2] De Vaan suggests that the denominative was likely formed to a base noun *h₁ers-o/h₂- (“erring, error”). It is perhaps possible that the same denominative formation is continued by Old Armenian եռամ (eṙam, “to boil, bubble”).^[1]^[2] Nussbaum alternatively suggests that it may have emerged as a denominative to an s-present from *h₁r̥sḱéti (“to go to, to arrive”).^[3]

errō (present infinitive errāre, perfect active errāvī, supine errātum); first conjugation

to wander, rove, stray, roam
Synonyms: pererrō, pervagor, vagor, peragrō, discurrō, lūstrō, perlūstrō, pālor
- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.31–32:
  arcēbat longē Latiō, multōsque per annōs
  errābant, āctī fātīs, maria omnia circum.
  [Juno] was keeping [the Trojans] far away from Latium, and through many years – driven by the Fates – they were wandering the seas all around.
  (The Trojans had been – and still were – wandering on their years-long odyssey to reach Latium in Italy. See: Latium.)
to get lost, go astray

Synonyms: dēlinquō, lābor, committō, offendō
to hesitate, vacillate
Synonyms: pendeō, dubitō, fluitō, vagor

Usage notes

Mostly intransitive and taking impersonal passive use.
