broad ?

That's my thought but, I can't parse it.
troad alternative spelling of trod, trode
Question Author
Thanks, how does it parse?
T(ense) + travelling (road) = TROAD (archaic - lost - for "footing")

Chambers gives "road" as "travelling, tour"
Question Author
Thanks, both.
I think the parsing is tense = T, travelling = ON ROAD.
T ON ROAD = TROAD.
That way the question mark is justified.
