Relating to or marked by digression, which means going off the main topic or path.
From Late Latin 'digressoria,' derived from 'digressus' (past participle of 'digredi,' meaning 'to step aside'), combining 'di-' (apart) and 'gradi' (to step). The suffix '-ory' indicates a tendency or relation.
This word captures the essence of how human thoughts naturally wander—our brains evolved to make associative connections, which is why digressory tangents in stories or conversations often reveal the most interesting ideas.
