Determine if for all directed graphs $D$ the following relation R defined in $V (D)$ is an equivalence relation

Determine if for all directed graphs D the following relation R defined in $V (D)$ is an equivalence relation: $xRy$ if and only if $x = y$ or there is an $xy$-path directed.

I don't seem to understand the $xy$ directed path.

I have an idea of how to prove reflexivity and maybe symetry.

But transitivity I don't have an idea
