Etymology
The word 'vagrant' originated in the late 15th century from the Latin word 'vagari', meaning 'to wander'. Initially, it referred to a person who wanders from place to place without a home or job. Over time, the term also evolved in the context of computing to denote a virtual environment for software development.
