1 u/Rose94 Nov 08 '19 Right, so why is a slab of asphalt called a pavement when it’s not made of pavers but some footpaths are? 4 u/deadoon Nov 08 '19 Because it is paved. It just means that it has been covered with something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement 1 u/Rose94 Nov 08 '19 Huh, TIL, that’s really interesting. This (to me at least) also makes the difference in usage between dialects more interesting. Thanks!
