Where two paths argue and you become the deciding vote.
means A point where two roads cross or meet, especially a small intersection or a way that cuts across.
from A plain English compound, joining "cross" with "way." "Cross" comes from Latin "crux" (the cross of the crucifixion), which entered Old English through the Church and only later took on the broader sense of intersecting lines and grumpy moods. "Way" is older and homegrown — Old English "weg," a path or road, a cousin of German "Weg" and Latin "via." So the word is literally a road laid across a road, the spot where two ways disagree about which direction you ought to go.
