长释义
The word ramble comes from similar roots as roam. They both mean wander, but they’re often used a little differently. You might roam around on vacation to relax or find adventure.

词源
ramble (v.)mid-15c., ramblen, “to wander, roam about in a leisurely manner,” perhaps frequentative of romen “to walk, go” (see roam), perhaps via romblen (late 14c.) “to ramble.” The vowel change is perhaps by influence of Middle Dutch rammelen, a derivative of rammen “copulate,” “used of the night wanderings of the amorous cat” [Weekley], or the Middle English word might be from the Dutch one. Meaning “to talk or write incoherently” is from 1630s. Related: Rambled; rambling.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
ramble (v.)mid-15c., ramblen,“以悠闲的方式漫步,漫游”,也许是 romen 的频繁出现“走,走”(见 roam),也许是 via romblen(14c 后期)“漫步” ”元音变化可能是受中古荷兰语 rammelen 的影响,它是 rammen“交配”的派生词,“用于多情猫的夜间漫游”[Weekley],或者中古英语单词可能来自荷兰语。意思是“不连贯地说话或写作”是从 1630 年代开始的。相关:漫步;漫无边际。相关条目及更多
