An idiom referring to the path on which a move 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 movement or maneuver.

Path of Travel is used to describe the path and/or line through space that a move travels on - rather than the move itself, how it was executed, or its intent.

A Path of Travel can be linear or circular, vertical or horizontal, 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.

Path of Travel differs from Line of Travel in the same way in which line and path differ - through the dimension of width. Where a line is thinner than a path. Another and common way to visualize this difference is by imagining a piece of chaulk. If one were to use the tip of the chaulk 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 chaulk to create a mark, that would be referred to as a Path of Travel.
