Even with the emergence of the ideas of self-assertion among the Asians, the Imperialists are not only trying to dominate the region through the system of remote control, but are also vagitating around to get a chance again to enter the ground and graze wantonly.
Where it comes from
Attested earliest as a ghost word in the 1928 volume of the New English Dictionary On Historical Principles (NED). Some later uses may have been based (directly or indirectly) on this entry. The editors of the NED interpreted it as a borrowing from Latin vagitō, vagitāre, an obscure medieval verb Others read here "per Hispaniam e palatio vagitant". built on the root of Classical Latin vagor, vagārī (“to ramble, stroll about”), from vagus (“wandering”).
