A road or path designed or used for chariots; a chariot track or route.
Compound word from 'chariot' plus 'way' (from Old English 'weg' meaning road or path), following the pattern of 'railway,' 'pathway,' and 'highway' to describe routes designated for specific vehicles.
Archaeological evidence shows that ancient chariotways were engineered specifically for smooth riding—Roman roads were designed with chariot traffic in mind, making them some of the first specialized transportation infrastructure.
