pathway
Narrow garden route
A pathway is a route or track for walking, typically narrower and less formal than a road: a garden pathway, a pathway through the woods.
The word extends to any course or route toward a destination or outcome: career pathway, pathway to success.
In biology, a pathway is a sequence of chemical reactions or nerve signals: metabolic pathway, neural pathway.
