1. A rambler or a rover who has no permanent place to live; a nomad: Louis, the vagabond, wandered from town to town, earning some money by playing his accordion with a container in front of him for donations.
2. A beggar for food and money: The townsfolk, including Becky's mother, were not tolerant of the vagabond and almost everyone avoided him.

1. To drift from place to place: It seems that there are more people these days who are vagabonding around the city than during previous years.
2. Moving around aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment: Larry, the homeless man, has vagabonded here in the town for most of his life.
