trajetos

Trajetos is the plural of trajeto, a Portuguese noun that denotes a route or path that connects points in space or time. It can refer to physical routes such as streets, highways, or pedestrian paths, as well as to abstract sequences of steps in a plan or journey.

In daily life, trajetos describe commuting routes, travel itineraries, and paths used for deliveries or logistics. Public and private organizations publish trajetos or itinerários to indicate how transportation services operate, including origins, destinations, and intermediate stops.

In technical contexts, the related term trajetória is more common in physics and mathematics to describe the path traced by a moving object over time; trajetos may appear in informal speech to denote a route, but trajetória is preferred in formal writing. In information technology, trajeto de dados can be used to describe the path of data through a network, though rota or caminho are often used instead.

Origin and synonyms: The word trajeto derives from the French trajet, ultimately from Latin traiectus. Related terms include rota, caminho, percurso, and itinerário.
