Mendicant

A mendicant is a wandering beggar, without the stigma attached to the word “beggar.” It’s often used to describe ascetics (another wonderful word) who wander from town to town. I’ve recently realized the hard “c” matched with a sharp “t” look and sound really good together – I have no idea why I think this. Runners-up include retinaculum, ascetic and peripatetic. I love it!
