Etymology

The term 'vagrancy' originated from the Latin word 'vagari', which means 'to wander'. Throughout history, vagrancy has been associated with poverty, unemployment, and social marginalization. In the Middle Ages, vagrants were often viewed as a threat to social order and were subjected to harsh punishments. The concept of vagrancy has evolved over time, with modern societies addressing it as a social issue that requires compassionate solutions.
