A narrow path designed for people walking on foot, often found in parks, rural areas, or between properties.
Compound of 'foot' (from Old English 'fōt') and 'path' (from Old English 'pæth'). The term has been used since medieval times to describe routes used primarily by pedestrians.
In the UK, footpaths have official legal status—some have been in continuous use for over 1,000 years, and locals can actually challenge if someone tries to block them!
