Why this word is great
EVAGATION — [Noun] The act of wandering about or digressing, especially in thought or speech. From the Latin ēvagātiō, from ēvagārī ("to wander forth"), from ē- ("out") + vagārī ("to wander"). Unlike "peregrination," which implies a purposeful, often arduous journey to foreign lands, or "digression," which denotes a calculated departure from a topic in discourse, evagation is the inherent, aimless straying of the self. It is the foot tracing a meandering path through a vacant city park, the mind's sudden, vivid recollection of a childhood kitchen during a quarterly report, and the way a sentence begins with a clear intent and ends, three clauses later, in a thicket of parenthetical speculation—a quiet testament to our fundamental inability to follow a straight line for very long.
