commute
Work trip routine
Commute has two main branches.
The familiar one is traveling regularly between home and work: My commute takes forty minutes each way.
The noun and verb share this sense.
The other branch involves substitution or exchange—to commute a prison sentence is to replace it with a lighter one: The governor commuted her death sentence to life imprisonment.
In electronics, to commute is to reverse current direction.
