Vacilador

"Vacilador" 

A Spanish word used by John Steinbeck that has no direct English translation. Loosely interpreted, it refers to an adventurer who goes on a quest for something that he knows cannot be found but continues seeking nonetheless. And what is discovered along the path proves to be more valuable than what he was searching for in the first place.
