path metaphor

Two places and something between them. Bridge, road, crossing, tunnel, fork. You pour a sequence or a transition into it, with the start on one side, the end on the other, and the hard middle drawn as a gap or a span.

A bridge implies someone designed it, tested it, and that it holds, which is exactly the assurance most transitions do not have.
