Etymology: "Waymarked" is simply "waymark" with the past-participle ending "-ed" attached, so it describes a route, trail or path that has been given markers to guide travellers. The base word "waymark" is itself a compound of "way" and "mark": "way" in the sense of a route or path, and "mark" in the sense of a sign or landmark that is set down to be seen. Put together, a waymark is a sign placed along a road or track to show the way, and a waymarked path is one that has been so signposted.

Synonyms: signposted, marked, indicated
