How to use "Astray" in context?
If something goes astray, it is not what was intended or planned. A stray cat roaming the neighborhood may be seen as an inconvenience, but a dog that wanders a mile from home may be seen as a tragedy. A boat that sails off course may be frustrating for the crews, but an airborne object that inexplicably strays from its course is a terrifying scenario. Dozens, even hundreds, of options for reaching one's destination may be lost in the sea of possibilities if one's path is astray. In each of these examples, something was unintended and misdirected, and as a result, something not desirable occurred.
