A route is the way you go from one place to another, like a road, path, or planned course. It can also mean the usual way something travels, such as a bus route or delivery route.
From Old French *rute* or *route*, meaning 'road' or 'way', which came from Latin *rupta (via)*, literally 'broken (way)', a road made by breaking through obstacles. Over time, it came to mean any established path between places.
