Peregrination comes from the Latin word peregrinari, “to travel abroad”
and means a journey, especially a long or meandering one. This word typically
applies to traveling for an extended period of time or over a great distance.
The word Pilgrim comes from the same root. Many Pilgrims certainly did travel
over an extended period and over great distances, having moved from their homes
in England to Leiden, and finally to Plymouth.
