wayfarers
Those who journey
Wayfarers are people who travel on foot, especially those journeying long distances.
The word is literary and old-fashioned, evoking pilgrims, wanderers, and travelers of earlier eras: The inn offered shelter to weary wayfarers.
Wayfarer also names a classic style of sunglasses with thick, trapezoidal frames.
