Where two paths agree to disagree, and someone always has the right of way
means The act of going across something, or the specific place where two things—roads, rivers, paths—intersect or where you can pass over.
from From the verb "cross," which comes through Old English from Latin "crux," meaning the cross or the wooden frame of crucifixion. The shape of two beams meeting gave us the idea of intersection, and English added "-ing" to turn the act of going-across into the place of going-across. The same "crux" lurks inside "crucial" and "crucible"—all descendants of that ancient X where two lines refuse to part company.
