+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler dates it from Cicero,^(Köbler 2010) who exclaims in the ''Philippics'': “how noble that journey of yours is!”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means travelling abroad or away from home, and staying or living abroad: Cicero writes to a friend that any stay abroad is obscure and mean for those whose industry can shine at Rome.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) The TLL notes that it belongs to prose from Cicero on, is more frequent in Seneca and later Latin, and is absent from Caesar, Sallust and Livy.^(TLL) In Church Latin it is travel and pilgrimage, and in medieval Latin a pilgrimage to the holy places or a penitential exile.^(Stelten 1995)^(Niermeyer 1976) English borrowed ''peregrination'' in the early 15th century, first in the sense journey or pilgrimage.^(Etymonline)
