Definition
风尘仆仆 is a four-character idiom (成语) that describes someone who looks tired and disheveled after a long journey — literally 'wind and dust, weary and hurried.' You can use it to describe a traveler who has just arrived after a tiring trip, often with the verb 从...来 or 赶路. It's a set phrase, so you don't change the characters or word order.
f.e.
travel-worn and wearyexhausted from a long journey
