Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from Middle English 'astrayen', from Old French 'estraier', based on the Vulgar Latin 'extravagare' (to wander outside). It combines the Latin prefix 'ex-' (out of, beyond) and 'vagari' (to wander), shifting in meaning over centuries from physically straying from a path to morally or mentally losing one's way.
