The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 January 2023):

path

   1.  pathname.

   2.  A bang path or explicitly routed Internet
   address; a node-by-node specification of a link between two
   machines.

   3.   The list of directories the kernel
   (under Unix) or the command interpreter (under MS-DOS)
   searches for executables.  It is stored as part of the
   environment in both operating systems.

   Other, similar constructs abound under Unix; the C
   preprocessor, for example, uses such a search path to
   locate "#include" files.

The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):

path
 n.

    1. A bang path or explicitly routed Internet address; a node-by-node
    specification of a link between two machines. Though these are now obsolete
    as a form of addressing, they still show up in diagnostics and trace
    headers occasionally (e.g. in NNTP headers).

    2. [Unix] A filename, fully specified relative to the root directory (as
    opposed to relative to the current directory; the latter is sometimes
    called a relative path). This is also called a pathname.

    3. [Unix and MS-DOS/Windows] The search path, an environment variable
    specifying the directories in which the shell (COMMAND.COM, under MS-DOS)
    should look for commands. Other, similar constructs abound under Unix (for
    example, the C preprocessor has a search path it uses in looking for #
    include files).
