'paved-road' originates from the combination of 'paved,' which comes from the Latin word 'pavimentum,' meaning 'a floor or pavement,' and 'road,' which comes from the Old English word 'rād,' meaning 'a riding or journey.'

'paved' changed from the Latin word 'pavimentum' to the Old French 'paver,' and eventually became the modern English word 'pave.' 'Road' evolved from the Old English 'rād' to the modern English 'road.'

Initially, 'paved' meant 'to cover with stones or bricks,' and 'road' meant 'a path for riding.' Over time, 'paved-road' evolved to mean a road with a hard, smooth surface.
