Landloper is a noun that refers to a vagrant or vagabond.
Our word of the day combines the word ‘land’ with ‘loper,’ a word of Dutch origin that means ‘runner.’ A person referred to as a landloper doesn’t necessarily run all the time, but they wander the land without a permanent home.
Sometimes I get so sick of paying this outrageously high rent that I consider becoming a landloper. Sure, roaming the earth may have its downsides, but at least it’s rent-free.
