means A person who journeys from one place to another, especially over long distances or to unfamiliar places.

from From the Old French 'travailler,' to toil or labor — the same brutal root that gives us 'travail.' The hidden ancestor is the Late Latin 'trepalium,' reputedly a three-staked instrument of torture (from 'tres,' three, and 'palus,' stake). So early journeying was understood as a kind of suffering, and the word still carries the memory: to travel was, originally, to put yourself through it.
