Tramp Tramp A tramp is a long-term homeless person who travels from place to place as a vagrant, traditionally walking all year round. The word "tramp" became a common way to refer to such people in 19th-century Britain and America. Tramp is derived from a Middle English verb meaning to "walk with heavy footsteps" ("cf." modern English "trample") and to go hiking. In Britain the term was widely used to refer to vagrants in the early Victorian period. The social reporter Henry Mayhew refers to it in his writings of the 1840s and 1850s. By 1850 the word was well established.
