It can imply a physical movement from place to place, often without a fixed destination or purpose. In a metaphorical sense, it can also suggest a lack of focus or aimlessness in one's actions or thoughts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a common part of life, whether for trade, military campaigns, or religious pilgrimages. The concept of "going around" or "wandering" could carry both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context. For instance, itinerant preachers or philosophers might be seen as spreading wisdom, while aimless wanderers could be viewed with suspicion.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/2064.htm">erchomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go about<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>go around (1), sailed around (1), went from place to place (1), went about (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4022: περιέρχομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περιέρχομαι</span></span>;
