Many words from French came to the Russian language - "silhouette", "dressing table", "lampshade". One of these is the "route". It seems to sound not only in French and German, but also in other languages. Sometimes it is written with a hyphen, for example, in Serbian it will be "marsh-ruta". But what should be understood when it arises in a conversation? What is the meaning of the word "route"? We will analyze further.
Origin of the word
What is a route? To understand this, we turn to etymology. "March" or "marche" in French means "move" or "movement", and "root" or "route" means the route. Thus, "route" means the path of the animate (human) or inanimate object (comet). It can contain the coordinates of the start and end points, as well as intermediate points. For example, a bus route. He leaves from one city to another, but makes stops along the way.
Features of use
The word "route" can also be used in fiction and cinema. For example, in 1998 in Ukraine the film "The Seventh Route", and in 2007 in Russia - the series "Route" on the search for treasure in the Krasnodar Territory. In English, this word sounds briefly "route". Route-66 - the so-called series and films of 1993, 1998 and 2017. All of them are about the famous 4000 km long route between Chicago and Los Angeles. It was built in the 1920s, and in the 1930s asphalted.
In addition, the term is used in computer science, for example, "routing". It is associated with moving data across networks.
What is a tourist route? It can be small and pedestrian, for example, to Bear Mountain in 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 "Great Northern Expedition Route" - from Germany to Japan and Alaska, through the ways of sailors of the XVIII century.
