I disagree. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/path_1?q=path

1) A Path is following a track.
2) Drawing is actually putting something visual on a surface.

The former is true, the latter is not. Since the Path is not drawing anything but is just a simple representation of segments, the term “drawing” is misleading. Then it seems to be a verb, even though the segment representation isn’t doing anything.

I know, I am not helping with that. Seriously, I do not believe that the first thing crossing the mind of randomly asked people on Path is file structure or URL.
