POSIX 1003.1-202x/D4, §3.311 defines "relative pathname" thus:

"A pathname not beginning with a <slash> character."

Can you clarify?  Does Bash have its own definition of this term?

In this specific case, I suppose. In default mode, `source' doesn't use
$PATH for ./x and ../x, but does for other relative pathnames.
