American Oxford Thesaurus

traipse

traipse verb I haven't the time to go traipsing around art galleries: trudge, trek, tramp, tromp, trail, plod, drag oneself, slog, schlep. WORD NOTE traipse No other synonym for walk conveys a value judgment. Amble, stroll, saunter, mosey all refer, more or less neutrally, to velocity (or, in a stretch, rhythm ). Only traipse is morally loaded: it hints at disapproval, even contempt for the ambler's lazy, aimless ways. Superficially innocent words that let you get in a dig below the radar should be treasured. — DA Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
