===Alternative forms===
* {{alter|en|rade||obsolete}}

===Etymology===
From {{inh|en|enm|rode|id=ride}}, {{m|enm|rade|id=ride|t=ride, journey}}, from {{inh|en|ang|rād||riding, hostile incursion}}, from {{inh|en|gmw-pro|*raidu}}, from {{inh|en|gem-pro|*raidō||a ride}}, from {{der|en|ine-pro|*reydʰ-||to ride}}. {{doublet|en|raid}}, acquired from {{cog|sco|-}}. Cognates include West Frisian {{m|fy|reed}} (paved trail/road, driveway).

The current primary meaning of "street, way for traveling"  originated relatively late&mdash;Shakespeare seemed to expect his audiences to find it unfamiliar&mdash;and probably arose through reinterpretation of {{m|en|roadway}} "a way for riding on" as saying "way" twice, in other words as a [[tautological]] [[compound]].

{{en-noun}}

# A [[way]] used for [[travel]]ling between places, originally one wide enough to allow foot passengers and horses to travel, now (US) usually one [[surface]]d with [[asphalt]] or [[concrete]] and designed to accommodate many [[vehicle]]s travelling in both directions. In the UK both senses are heard: a country road is the same as a country [[lane]]. {{defdate|from 16th c.}}

====Usage notes====
* Often used interchangeably with {{m|en|street}} or other similar words. When usage is distinguished, a road is a route between settlements (reflecting the etymological relation with {{m|en|ride}}), as in the {{w|Great North Road (Great Britain)|Great North Road}} from London to Edinburgh, while a street is a route within a settlement (city or town), strictly speaking, paved.
