obambulate (ob-AM-byoo-lait) - v., to walk about.


I'm not sure why English needs yet another synonym for roam and stravage, but there you are. For what it's worth, the 1828 Webster's dictionary marks it as "not used." Adopted from Latin obambulare, from ob-, about + ambulare, walk. Pretty straightforward for a rambling word.
