"Breadcrumb" Definition

Website Redesign Glossary - Entry 5
Breadcrumb: An element on a web page (usually directly below the page title) showing the click path a user traveled to arrive at the current page. For example: Home > About Us > Our Staff Usually the terms are active links, which enable the user to retrace their click path (or skip back several clicks). Breadcrumbs, especially in deep sites with multiple levels of navigation, improve usability because they help users understand where they are now as well as the overall structure of the site, and navigate back to the pages they've visited.
The term "breadcrumb" comes from the trail Hansel and Gretel left to try to find their way back home.
