homeless person; vagabond; tramp
Refers to a person without a fixed home, often wandering or living on the streets. Can carry a slightly old-fashioned or literary feel compared to modern terms like ホームレス.
彼は若い頃、宿無しとして各地を旅した。
When he was young, he traveled around as a vagabond.

More common modern term for 'homeless person', without the literary or old-fashioned nuance of 宿無し.
A more formal or legal term for a vagrant or homeless person, often used in official contexts.
Compound of 宿 (yado, 'lodging') + 無し (nashi, 'without'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word has been used since at least the Edo period to refer to those without a fixed abode.
