Definition
过路 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to pass by' or 'to be in transit'. The noun 路 ('road') can split off from 过 when a measure word, object, or duration is inserted — for example, 过这条路 ('pass this road') or 过了一次路 ('passed by once'). Note: the standard pronunciation is guò lù, though the source data lists guō; make sure to pronounce both syllables with falling tones (guò lù).
