Etymology of VAGABONDED

The word "vagabonded" is not commonly found in English vocabulary. It appears to be a derivative of the noun "vagabond", which originated from Old French "vagabund". The Old French term itself came from Late Latin "vagabundus", which meant "wandering" or "roaming". It was formed by combining the Latin word "vagus", meaning "wandering" or "vagrant", with the suffix "-bundus", indicating a state or condition. Over time, "vagabond" evolved into a verb form, "vagabonded", which would mean to behave as or become a vagabond.
