Ne’er-Be-Gone

n.
a person who has no idea where their home is, or was, or when they might have left it—which leaves their emotional compass free to swing around wildly as they move from place to place, pulling them everywhere and nowhere all at once, making it that much harder to navigate.

Middle English naur, nowhere + begone, surrounded. Pronounced “nair-bi-gawn.”
