Propagation of disturbance suffered by a particle in a medium is called wave propagation
Wave Propagation is a term used to estimate the actions and characteristics of a wave of motion either in solids, liquids, gasses, or electrical radio type waves by the environment it is in and what factors affect those waves behaviors.

Wave propagation refers to the movement of waves through a medium, such as air or water. As waves travel, they transfer energy and information without displacing the medium itself. Waves can propagate in various forms, such as sound waves, light waves, and seismic waves.
In a transverse wave, the direction of wave propagation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave oscillation.
In a longitudinal wave, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase with each other. The propagation direction of the wave is the direction in which the wave is moving. The relationship between the wavelength and the propagation direction in a longitudinal wave is that the wavelength is parallel to the propagation direction.
In a transverse wave, the particles oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a longitudinal wave, the particles oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation.
Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.
Particles in a transverse wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation. In a longitudinal wave, particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation.
