en route
Between here and there
En route means on the way or along the route to a destination: We stopped for coffee en route to the airport.
The phrase comes from French and keeps both words in English, though it's pronounced approximately "on ROOT" or "en ROOT." It works as an adverb or adjective: en route traffic, deliveries en route.
