This document is designed to offer definitions of various terms, exclusive to WordPress, that users may not be familiar with.
If you are a contributor please don’t add definitions for generic terms (API, PHP, JavaScript, etc…).
(also known as a full path)
The complete location of a file or directory within a computer filesystem. An absolute path starts at the root directory (or drive letter) and continues up the directory hierarchy until the specific file or directory is reached. This contrasts with a relative path[1], which does not start at the root directory.
The syntax of absolute paths differs by operating system. On Microsoft Windows, they begin with a drive letter and use a backslash to separate directory names. Absolute paths on macOS and Linux lack drive letters and use a forward slash as the directory separator.

Windows: C:UsersMattwwwlogimagesicecream.jpg macOS: /Users/Matt/www/blog/i...
