It took me ages to figure out the nine-letter word because you can almost make "Jack Sprat" and I couldn't get that out of my mind.

"Rough" is somewhat misleading as a clue for track. Are tracks inherently rough? All the ones I run on are actually particularly smooth.

Track (noun): "A rough path or minor road, typically one beaten by use rather than constructed". (lexico).

Track (noun): "a path made or beaten by or as if by the feet of people or animals; trail:" (dictionary.com)

Track (noun): "a path that is narrower than a road, often with an uneven surface" (Cambridge Dictionary)

Track (noun): a rough path or road, usually one that has not been built but that has been made by people walking there (Oxford Learner's Dictionary).

Track (noun): "A path or road with a rough surface" (Macmillan Dictionary)

That realistic enough for you?

Kiwi, is it possible that’s just the more common UK/Commonwealth usage? The US term definitely brings something more “prepared” or “laid out” to mind – like a running track, or railroad tracks.

I think there’s also an issue with the word “rough”, because while the prepared tracks that came to my mind indeed usually have a rough physical texture, the tracks in the way you’re defining them aren’t “rough” in the sense of having been planned that way, but more due to either their organic origins, or because of overall neglect.

I’m not sure I’m making an overt suggestion here; I just felt compelled to back up the American complainants, because their point is definitely not unique (or just meant to be surly!).

I think you make a valid point samiamco. I am English and I would say there is a definite and clear difference between our understanding of track and yours. Kiwi's language usage probably has more in common with UK English.

Incidentally, we also call the thing that Olympic athletes run on a track, or an athletics track. For us, track and field is simply called athletics (generally).
