GNU Coding Standards[fn:1] says:

    Please do not use the term “pathname” that is used in Unix
    documentation; use “file name” (two words) instead. We use the term
    “path” only for search paths, which are lists of directory names.

Should this variable be renamed?

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

    Should this variable be renamed?

Yes, it should be called eww-download-directory.
Its doc string should be changed too.
