Syn. — Street; highway; road. — Way, Street, Highway, Road. Way is generic, denoting any line
for passage or conveyance; a highway is literally one raised for the sake of dryness and convenience
in traveling; a road is, strictly, a way for horses and carriages; a street is, etymologically, a paved way,
as early made in towns and cities; and, hence, the word is distinctively applied to roads or highways in
compact settlements.
All keep the broad highway, and take delight
With many rather for to go astray.
