trayecto

journey, route

noun trah-YEK-toh Rare

Origin: From Latin 'traiectus' (crossing), from 'traicere' (to throw across).

Also means

stretch (of road)

Usage Note

Trayecto focuses on a segment or stretch of a journey — the physical path covered — rather than a whole trip (viaje). You might describe the trayecto between two metro stops or the final trayecto of a long drive. It is more formal and written than tramo, which covers a similar 'stretch' sense.

Examples

"El trayecto en tren dura dos horas."

Natural Translation

The train journey takes two hours.
