How it's used
Refers specifically to groups that move seasonally with livestock rather than settling in one place. It is a formal term often found in history or geography contexts, so it sounds slightly academic in casual conversation. When describing people who move around frequently for work or lifestyle reasons today, other terms like 漂泊或者流浪 are more appropriate.
