means A businessperson who travels constantly for work — living out of a suitcase, racking up frequent-flyer miles, and treating hotel loyalty programs like a second home.

from A late-20th-century coinage built from two plain English words: 'road,' the open-ended highway of travel, and 'warrior,' borrowed for the battle-worn grit of someone who fights through security lines, delayed flights, and time-zone fatigue as routine combat. It rose alongside the corporate travel boom of the 1980s–90s, often paired early on with traveling salespeople and tech consultants, before expanding to cover anyone whose job lives in airports and rental cars rather than an office.
