jaunted
Went pleasure walking
Jaunted is the past tense of jaunt, meaning to have taken a short trip or excursion, typically for pleasure.
The word suggests a lighthearted outing rather than serious travel: We jaunted over to the coast for the afternoon.
In science fiction, particularly Alfred Bester's novel *The Stars My Destination*, jaunting refers to teleportation, and jaunted describes having teleported from one location to another.
