The GNU convention (which we use in Emacs) is to only use "path" for
lists of directories as in $PATH and `load-path`, so we'd call the above
"full file name" (or maybe "absolute file name").

[ Of course, you're free to use the terminology you want, but I'm just
  pointing this out because I feel that there's a risk of confusion
  here.  ]
