Definition
路径 (lùjìng) refers to a specific, defined path or route – often used in technical contexts (file path, data path) or for figurative 'paths' (career path, development path). It is more precise than 路 (lù) or 道路 (dàolù), which are general terms for roads/ways, and differs from 路线 (lùxiàn), which more often means a planned itinerary or ideological course.
