Definition
行踪 refers to a person's whereabouts or the trail of their movements — where they go and what they do. It often carries a sense of secrecy or uncertainty: 'somebody's whereabouts are unknown' (行踪不明) is a common pattern. The senses 'behavior' and 'conduct' in the source gloss are less common in modern usage; stick with the 'whereabouts/track' meaning for everyday contexts.
