Morphology
wayfaring = wayfare (semi-transparent) = way + fare + ing
Formation is a standard -ing form of the verb 'wayfare', but 'wayfare'/'fare' as 'to travel' is somewhat archaic and less familiar to many learners.
Etymology
Wayfaring comes from the old English words way ('road') and fare ('to go'). It originally meant 'traveling on the road', often on foot, so a wayfaring journey is a trip on foot.
