Similar words
billete: Ticket for long-distance train or airplane travel, often for reserved intercity trips.
tiquete: Travel ticket commonly used in parts of Latin America, especially for bus and short regional routes.

Definition in Spanish
Principalmente se usa para referirse al billete para viajar, aunque en otros contextos puede significar pasillo o una breve sección de texto.
Word origin
It comes from Spanish pasar 'to pass' plus the suffix -aje, which forms nouns about passing and so extends to things that allow passage such as travel tickets, passageways, and short text excerpts.
Usage tips
- In many Latin American regions pasaje often means the fare or cost of travel rather than the physical paper ticket, so billete or boleto is used when referring to the actual ticket.
