Buccaneers traipse all over the place (7)

I believe the answer is:

pirates

'buccaneers' is the definition.
('pirate' can be a synonym of 'buccaneer')

'traipse all over the place' is the wordplay.
'all over the place' indicates anagramming the letters.
'traipse' with letters rearranged gives 'PIRATES'.

(Other definitions for pirates that I've seen before include "Buccaneers" , "More than one brigand" , "Chatters, talks foolishly" , "Sea trip (anag.)" , "felons found in craft?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
