Morphology
trapes + around
The form 'trapes' looks like a spelling error for 'traipse' (to walk or wander), and if a learner knows the verb 'traipse' and the particle 'around' the meaning 'walk or wander about' is directly compositional. The construction is a transparent verb + particle combination (redundant but predictable), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Trapes around makes you picture someone walking slowly with no plan, just moving around from place to place. That's why it means 'to walk or wander about in a casual, aimless, or leisurely manner'.
