noun
A person who wanders from place to place without a fixed home; a wanderer or drifter. Used in Japanese as a direct loan from English, often with a literary or slightly romantic nuance.
彼はバガボンドのように世界中を旅している。
He travels the world like a vagabond.
放浪者 is a more formal or literary native Japanese term for a wanderer or vagrant, while バガボンド is a direct English loanword with a slightly more modern or Western feel.
浮浪者 often implies a homeless person or vagrant with a more negative or social-welfare connotation, whereas バガボンド can carry a romantic or adventurous nuance.
Borrowed from English 'vagabond', ultimately from Latin 'vagabundus'.
