An idiom referring to the path on which a maneuver travels from a Point of Origin to a Point of Completion.

Comments:

Path of Travel is a generic term and is used as a way of describing any form of method and/or maneuver.

Path of Travel is used to describe the route through space that a maneuver travels on - rather than the maneuver itself, how it was executed, or its intent.

A Path of Travel can be linear or circular; vertical, horizontal, or diagonal; or any combination of each.

Path of Travel differs from Completed Path of Travel in that Path of Travel refers to an Embryonic path of movement.

Path of Travel differs from Angle of Travel in that Angle of Travel describes the angle at which a maneuver follows to the Point of Contact, rather than the entire path in which the maneuver follows.

Technically, Path of Travel differs from Line of Travel through the dimension of width. A Line is technically thinner than a path. Another and common way to visualize this difference is by imagining a piece of chalk. If one were to use the tip of the chalk to create a mark, that would be referred to as a Line of Travel. If one were to instead use the entire length of the chalk to create a mark, that would be referred to as a Path of Travel.
