Displacement is the correct term for movement in a particular direction.
Displacement :-
Displacement is a vector. It is an object's change in position considering its starting position and final position. A displacement measurement does not take into account what route the object took to change its position. It quantifies both the distance and the direction of an imaginary motion along a straight line from the initial position to the final position. In dealing with the motion of a rigid body, the term displacement may also include the rotation of the body. In this case, the displacement of a particle of the body is called linear displacement (displacement along a line), while the rotation of the body is called angular displacement.
