Morphology
wayfaring = wayfare (semi-transparent) = way + fare + ing
adjectival use is formed from the verb 'wayfare' + '-ing'; the base verb sense is clear but somewhat uncommon.
Etymology
Wayfaring comes from the same parts, way ('road') and fare ('to go'), and so it describes someone who is traveling, often on foot. That's why a wayfaring person or life means moving from place to place along the road.
