road
In most cases, 'road' refers to the physical path you drive on. It is usually a countable noun (e.g., 'one road', 'two roads'). When used metaphorically to describe a process or a way to achieve a goal, it is similar to the word 'path'. For example, 'the road to recovery' means the process of getting healthy again.
