Here's a breakdown of its meaning and usage: ### Primary Meaning The verb "wadalōn" means "to wander, roam, or move about". It conveys the idea of repetitive or habitual motion, similar to the English "to meander" or "to rove." ### Etymology - Derived from the Proto-Germanic root *wad-/wadaną ("to go, stride, wade"). The suffix "-lōn" is a frequentative marker, indicating repeated or ongoing action (e.g., sprangalōn = "to jump around repeatedly").
