Straying refers to moving away from the correct path or direction. It can indicate a literal physical movement away from a set route or course, but it is often used metaphorically to describe actions or behaviors that diverge from a determined plan, set of rules, or ethical standards. For example, an animal straying from its regular territory can become lost, or a person might be described as straying from their moral principles.
