wanders

Wanders is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb wander. It describes the act of moving about without a fixed destination or plan, and can refer to physical travel as well as metaphorical exploration or drifting through a space or situation.

Originating in Old English wandrian, the verb is related to senses of roaming and roaming about. In Modern English it has both literal uses, such as wandering through a city, and figurative uses, such as wandering thoughts or wandering through memories.

Grammar: wanders takes the -s ending when the subject is he, she, or it. Common constructions include wanders off, wanders around, or wanders through. The tone can range from neutral to descriptive, and it frequently appears in travel writing, fiction, and narrative prose.

See also: wander (base form), roaming, meander, stroll, drift. Note: wanders is not a separate lexical item beyond the verb's conjugation; the meanings derive from wander.
