A '''path''' is usually the visible surface of a route between two points and may be purpose-built (such as a [[road]], [[sidewalk]] or [[foot]]path), or just a worn or trodden [[track]].
A path can also be a course of action or conduct: e.g. ''the path of [[righteousness]]''.
It may also refer the the course or trajectory of a moving object, such as the path of a [[hurricane]], or the path of a [[planet]] across the [[sky]].
In [[computer|computing]] a path refers to the hierarchical [[directory]] sequence which defines the location of a stored object in [[memory]].
