To go, move, proceed, or walk—a verb indicating movement from one place to another, whether by walking, traveling, or departing. The sense extends to both literal travel or locomotion (on foot or otherwise) and various metaphorical uses, such as conducting oneself in life, behaving, or experiencing changes or progress. The verb can also be used causatively ('to lead, to bring, to carry') and in expressions meaning 'to follow, to pursue, to depart' or to indicate the passage or journey of time, life, or outcomes.
