William Riker and Deanna Troi walking down a Betazed path
A path or pathway was any type of road-like structure that was often traveled on by people or vehicles. The term could also be used in a metaphorical sense to describe a choice that a person makes in their life. (VOY: "Author, Author")
The Novans on Terra Nova used the word path for a decision made by a person. Jamin told Nadet on several occasions, that the crew of Enterprise NX-01 was confusing her path by telling "shale". (ENT: "Terra Nova")
The crew of the USS Discovery described the many directions that could be taken on the mycelial network as "pathways." (DIS: "What's Past Is Prologue")
An old Talaxian saying was "When the road before you splits in two, take the third path." (VOY: "Author, Author")
