A passage or pathway along a floor, especially in industrial or warehouse settings.
Compound of 'floor' (Old English 'flor') and 'way' (Old English 'weg', a path or direction), following the Germanic pattern of combining concrete nouns with movement terms.
This word is rarely used today, but it reflects how early industrial designers literally had to plan out physical walkways as machinery became more dangerous—the term captures that concrete reality of factory safety planning.
