A romanticized depiction of a tramp smoking a cigar with a cane over his arm, from an 1899 poster. In American English, a tramp is a homeless person who travels from place to place as a vagrant, traditionally on foot. In British English, the term only refers to a homeless person, usually not a traveling one. The term "tramp" is derived from the Middle English as a verb meaning to "walk with heavy footsteps" (cf. modern English "trample").
