divagate

[dahy-vuh-geyt]

verb:

to wander or stray

Explanation

To divagate is to drift away from the main path. Maybe you branch off onto a new hiking trail, lose your train of thought mid-sentence, or suddenly decide on a new career trajectory. If you think you need a new direction, there's always the option to divagate.

Example: The speaker began to divagate from the main topic, confusing the audience.
