strayed
Usage Note
Extraviado means lost or having strayed from the right path, used for people, animals, or objects. It is more formal than perdido and often implies wandering away rather than simply not knowing one's location. Extraviar (the verb) also means to misplace an object; perder is the everyday colloquial equivalent.
Examples
"Encontraron al niño extraviado en el bosque."
Natural Translation
They found the lost child in the forest.
