enroute

On the way

En route (usually two words, from French) means on the way or along the route to a destination: We stopped for coffee en route to the airport.

The spelling *enroute* appears occasionally but is nonstandard.

The term works as both adverb and adjective: the en route flight time, passengers en route.
