wend
Take the scenic
Wend means to go or proceed, typically at a leisurely pace and often along an indirect route.
It appears almost exclusively in the phrase wend one's way, describing unhurried movement toward a destination: We wended our way through the narrow streets of the old town.
The word is literary and somewhat archaic, lending a formal or poetic quality to descriptions of travel or progress.
