1. To wander from the right way to deviate from the true course or purpose.

But errs not nature from this gracious end,

From burning suns when livid deaths descend?

2. To miss the right way, in morals or religion to deviate from the path or line of duty to stray by design or mistake.

We have erred and strayed like lost sheep.

3. To mistake to commit error to do wrong from ignorance or inattention. Men err in judgment from ignorance, from want of attention to facts, or from previous bias of mind.

4. To wander to ramble.

A storm of strokes, well meant, with fury flies,

And errs about their temples,ears, and eyes.
