gad
Flit from place
Gad is an old-fashioned verb meaning to roam or wander about restlessly, usually in search of pleasure or amusement: She spent the summer gadding about Europe.
A gadabout is someone who gads frequently—a person always on the move socially.
The word appears most often in the phrase gad about or gad around. (Capitalized Gad is a biblical name or mild oath.)
