Why this word?
Some people are extroverts who enjoy spending time around lots of people and participating in an active social life. Introverts, by contrast, revel in their alone time. They often like solitary hobbies, and a crowded party might be overwhelming to them. If an introvert likes to take long walks by themself, you can call them a solivagant. The word comes from the Latin “solivagus,” meaning “wandering alone.” “Solivagant” can be used as a noun or an adjective, either to refer to such a person or to describe the act of solo wandering.
