y-TIN-uh-r-uh-nt/aɪˈtɪnərənt/

Itinerant means travelling from place to place, especially for work: itinerant workers, an itinerant judge. Travelling is everyday; an itinerary is a planned route — related, not a synonym. Vagrant is homeless wandering and is not a synonym. Do not leave itinerant staff without a named local owner.

Meaning

Travelling from place to place, especially to work (formal).

Examples

• “Itinerant examiners still need a named local key-holder.”
• “Travelling is everyday. An itinerary is the plan (not in this batch as a headword, but the cousin). Migrant can be a wider labour word. A visitor badge is not a fire procedure. Someone on site must hold the key.”

Good to know

Travelling for work. Everyday: travelling. Cousin: itinerary (the route). Not vagrant. A visitor still needs a local owner.
