I have been a native British English speaker for about sixty years. A
trip from A to B and then back to A, either on a fully reversed route or
an alternative route, would could be described as a round trip. There is
certainly no element of a curved or looping route required to make it a
round trip.

The word 'round' implies circular. So a 'roundtrip' could be a
circular
I'm not a mother tongue but:

A trip from one place to another and back, usually over the same
route.

round trip
noun
A trip from one place to another and back, usually over the same
route.
Idk if it's clearer why I tried to match the definition.
route that does not go from A to B and back along the same
route, it
could go A to B to C and then back to A via D. As such your
rewording is
wrong and does not match present use.
Revert your change.
How about a voting?
If you want to signify a route that goes from A to B and back
along the
same route invent another tag, roundtrip is not it.
