Word origin
The word 'tramp' originated in the late 17th century, derived from the Old French word 'trampen', meaning 'to walk heavily or noisily'. It was initially used to describe the sound of heavy footsteps. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a person who travels on foot, often in search of work or as a vagrant.
