Stravage: to roam. Simply put, it means to wander, to move about. A synonym of "roam," "wander," and "ramble," "stravage" (also spelled
"stravaig") isn't likely to pop up in your local newspaper—unless you're
stravaging in Scotland or one of its neighbors. "Stravage" is not a new
word; our earliest evidence of it dates to the late 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.
