seaway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a travel route' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'inconclusively see off on' is the wordplay.
'inconclusively' becomes 'se' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'see off' becomes 'away' (synonyms).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'se'+'away'='SEAWAY'

Can you help me to learn more?
