[Tagging] Roundtrip and closed loop in relations

[Chris Hill]

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.
