Origin:
The word "wander" has its origins in the Proto-Germanic term *wandrjaną, which meant "to wander." This term was likely influenced by an even earlier Indo-European root, *went-, which implied the notion of "turning" or "going." Over time, the word "wander" evolved in the Germanic languages, acquiring its current meaning of aimless movement.
