Errant or errant means wandering or roving--
He was a knight errant, in quest of adventure.
It was a sultry day, without even an errant breeze.
Arrant or arrant means downright or thorough--
A pox upon him for an arrant fool!
He's an arrant scoundrel, and ought to be banished.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"This knight errant may be an arrant knave, or so it seems to me."
