The word "trip" can refer to a journey or travel to a place, often for leisure or adventure. It can also mean to stumble or cause someone to stumble. In a more informal context, it can refer to an experience involving altered perceptions, typically due to the use of drugs.
The word "trip" originates from Middle English "trippen," meaning to walk, dance, or stumble, which itself is derived from the Old Norse word "trippa," meaning to tread or step lightly.
