A lot of words came to the Russian language from French - "silhouette", "dressing table", "lampshade". One of these is "route". It seems to sound not only in French and German, but also occurs in other languages. Sometimes it is written with a hyphen, for example, in Serbian it will be "march-ruta". But what should be understood when it appears in a conversation? What is the meaning of the word "route"? Let's look further.
Origin of the word
What is a route? To understand this, let's look at etymology. "March" or "marche" in French means "move" or "movement", and "rut" or "route" - the route. Thus, "route" means the path followed by an animate (human) or inanimate object (comet). It can contain the coordinates of the start and end points, as well as waypoints. For example, a bus route. It travels from one city to another, but makes stops along the way.
Features of use
The word "route" canalso used in fiction and cinema. For example, in 1998 in Ukraine, the film "The Seventh Route", and in 2007 in Russia - the series "Route" about the search for treasure in the Krasnodar Territory. In English, this word sounds short "route". Route-66 is the name of the series and films of 1993, 1998 and 2017. All of them are about the famous 4000 km long highway between Chicago and Los Angeles. It was built in the 1920s and paved over in the 1930s.
Besides this, the term is used in computer science, for example, "routing". It has to do with the movement of data across networks.
What is a travel itinerary? It can be small and pedestrian, for example, to Bear Mountain in the Crimea, or it can unite about 40 regions of different countries and have a length of 40 thousand kilometers, that is, comparable to the equator. An example is the "Route of the Great Northern Expedition" - from Germany to Japan and Alaska, along the paths of navigators of the 18th century.
