Etymology

From Late Latin itinerarius (“pertaining to a journey”), neuter itinerarium (“an account of a journey, a road-book”), from iter (“a way, journey”); see itinerate.

This word peaked my curiousity to find out its origin since I ma familiar with the word already. I came across this word as I was looking at an itinerary that I have for a trip to NYC at Christmas time.  I kept wondering where the word comes from, it sounds similar to itinerate. At my job I am labeled as an itinerate worker even though I do not travel but I am not considered full time.  

itinerate:  (esp. of a church minister or a judge) Travel from place to place to perform one's professional duty.
