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.
