Wandering students - clerici vaganti (Latin)

Japanese: 放浪学生 - ほうろうがくせい（英語表記）clerici vaganti[ラテン]

A general term for students who wandered the countryside in medieval Europe after dropping out of school or graduating from university but failing to find employment. Many of them were produced in the 13th century, when the number of universities increased and the balance between supply and demand became unbalanced. They were also called wandering scholars, but this translation comes from the fact that students in the Middle Ages belonged to the clergy. The origin of the word is unclear, but they are sometimes called goliardus (goliard), which is often associated with Goliath the Philistine.

中世のヨーロッパで，修学途中で脱落し，あるいは大学を出ても就職できぬまま，地方を放浪した学生の総称。大学の数が増え，需給のバランスの崩れた13世紀に多く輩出した。放浪学僧とも呼ばれるが，この訳語は，中世の学生が聖職者身分に属していたことに由来する。その語源は明らかではないが，しばしばペリシテ人ゴリアテGoliathと結びつけられたゴリアルドゥスgoliardus(ゴリアールgoliard)の名で呼ばれることもある。
