every shortcut you've ever taken trying to avoid, which it quietly resents.
means A path, often paved or raised, designed for people to walk along between or through spaces.
from A plain compound of "walk" and "way," both deeply rooted Old English words — "walcan" (to roll, toss, journey) softened over centuries into our everyday "walk," while "weg" meant a path or road and shares ancient kinship with Latin "via." Stitched together, they make exactly what they say: a way for walking, the language doing no more than necessary.
