Why “dromomane” is a great word
DROMOMANE — [Noun] A person afflicted with dromomania; a compulsive, pathological wanderer. From dromo- (from Ancient Greek δρόμος (drómos, "a course, race course, road")) + -mane (from Ancient Greek μανία (manía, "madness, frenzy")). Unlike a nomad, whose movement is a cultural rhythm, or a vagabond, whose roaming is often a chosen idleness, the dromomane is driven by an internal, irrational engine. It is the suitcase packed by the door at 3 a.m., the railway ticket bought with no destination, the patient found a hundred miles from home with no memory of the journey—a fugue state made flesh, where the only destination is flight itself.
