traveling
UK: ˈtrævəlɪŋ | US: ˈtrævəlɪŋ
n. the act of moving from one place to another, especially over long distances
adj. relating to or used for travel
v. (present participle of "travel") moving or going to different places
The word "travel" originates from the Middle English "travailen," meaning "to toil or journey," which itself derives from Old French "travailler" (to work strenuously). This reflects the historical difficulty of long-distance movement. The suffix "-ing" marks the present participle form, indicating ongoing action. Over time, "traveling" (archaic spelling) simplified to "traveling" in modern English, retaining its core meaning of movement but shedding its earlier connotation of laborious effort.
