As you ramble along them, it is difficult not to feel something
of a peeping-tom; this is Surrey at its most intimate, with
arches over garden gates framing views of tile-hanging and
leaded lights.

Pierce and Carmen were on a northward walk markedly better
organized than our own: having rambled throughout Europe, they
had entrusted a local company to plan their trip.

c 1443, unknown origin, perhaps frequentative of romen "to walk,
go" of via romblen "to ramble." The vowel change was probably
influenced by Middle Dutch rammelen, a derivative of rammen "used
of the night wanderings of the amorous cat."
