The term "inroad" has long been employed in literature to evoke the image of a forceful advance or incursion, often with violent or disruptive implications. In historical and legendary narratives, it vividly captures the idea of an aggressive military attack—as seen in depictions of invasions or raids by heroic or barbaric forces [1], [2], [3], [4]. At times, however, the term is used more subtly, suggesting not only physical entry but also the metaphorical idea of progress or penetration into an established realm, whether it be a fortress, territory, or even cultural boundaries [5], [6]. The varied contexts—from the recounting of epic battles in ancient tales [1], [2] to inquisitions about the true impacts of such events on society [7] and explorations of distant lands [8]—demonstrate the word’s flexibility in connoting both the actual and the symbolic nature of these incursions. Even in descriptions of swift and ultimately futile escapes, the term underscores that the mark of true entry or influence remains evident [9].
