Etymology of EXTRAVAGATED

The word "extravagated" is derived from the Latin word "extravagatus", which is the past participle of the verb "extravagare". "Extravagare" is a compound of the prefix "extra" meaning "outside" or "beyond" and the verb "vagari" meaning "to wander" or "to stray". So, "extravagatus" in Latin originally meant "wandered outside" or "strayed beyond". Over time, the word evolved in English to become "extravagated", which means "to go beyond usual limits" or "to go astray".
