Vagabond
(gcide) | Vagabond \Vag"a*bond\, n.

person; a rascal.

English statutes as "such as wake on the night and
sleep on the day, and haunt customable taverns and
alehouses, and routs about; and no man wot from whence
they came, nor whither they go." In American law, the
term vagrant is employed in the same sense. Cf Rogue,
n., 1. --Burrill. --Bouvier.
