footprint
A footprint refers to the mark left by a foot or shoe on a surface, but in modern contexts, it most commonly describes the total impact or presence of an entity. It can refer to the space a physical object occupies, the environmental impact of a person or company (carbon footprint), or the data trail left online (digital footprint).
