ambuler

Ambuler is a term derived from the Latin word "ambulare," meaning to walk or to move about. In general usage, it refers to the act of walking or moving from place to place. While not as common as "walk" or "move," "ambuler" can sometimes be used in more formal or literary contexts to describe purposeful locomotion. It carries a connotation of deliberate progression.

In a medical context, the term "ambulatory" is more frequently encountered. An ambulatory patient is one who can walk and is not confined to a bed or requiring constant assistance for movement. Ambulatory surgery refers to procedures performed on patients who do not require an overnight hospital stay and can go home the same day. This highlights the practical application of the concept of ambulation in healthcare, emphasizing a patient's ability to move independently. The root "ambul" is also found in words like ambulance and perambulate, further emphasizing its connection to movement and walking.
