Etymology of EXTRAVAGATES

The word "extravagates" does not have a direct etymology as it is not a commonly used word in contemporary English., it can be broken down into two parts: "extra-" and "-vagates".

The prefix "extra-" comes from Latin and means "beyond" or "outside". It is often used in English words to convey the idea of something exceeding or going beyond the usual or expected limits.

The suffix "-vagates" is derived from the Latin verb "vagari", meaning "to wander" or "to go astray". It is related to the English words "vague" and "vagabond", both of which have roots in the idea of wandering or being without a fixed direction or purpose.

Taking these components into account, "extravagates" could be interpreted as a verb form describing the action of going beyond or wandering outside the expected boundaries or norms.
