step

any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal

the situation called for strong measures

shift or move by taking a step

step back

the distance covered by a step

he stepped off ten paces from the old tree and began to dig

the act of changing location by raising the foot and setting it down

he walked with unsteady steps

put down or press the foot, place the foot

For fools rush in where angels fear to tread
