, is a third declension NEUTER noun with one of the nastiest stems in the language. The nominative and accusative singular are , and everything else is built on itiner-: genitive , dative , ablative , plural , , . If you only memorise the nominative you will not recognise a single other form.
The verb that goes with it is or conficio: , to make a journey; conficere, to complete one. Caesar's is a technical term for a forced march, not merely a long one. The root is , "to go", the same as in exitus and , and English takes "itinerary" and "itinerant" from it. Compare , which is the road itself rather than the travelling along it.
