Answer 3

Always use an online dictionary - they are more likely to be up to date. Try www.dictionary.com. Having said that, wanderlust is NOT a new word.

Answer 4

Wanderlust is more than the want to travel. It is a kind of feeling that you NEED to travel, usually because your mind requires a new outlook, and you feel, not quite trapped in your own location, but, more likely, nothing new is happening there.

So, when the wanderlust is on you, you have to go.

This word is more used in Scotland than anywhere else.

Answer 8

The first occurrence of the word in English dictionaries is recorded as 1902.[2] In German, the term Wanderlust sounds old-fashioned today to some. To retranslate the English Wanderlust in the sense of "love of travel", the expression Fernweh (composing of 'Fern'= 'far' and 'weh'= 'ache', compare to 'Heimweh'=homesickness 'Heim'=home) is more appropriate.
