May 27, 2023 at 18:05 comment added ZaellixA As Dan Boschen very well answered, you can think of $t_{e}$ as the time elapsed after the "initialisation of the system". For example, if you started the system at midnight, then $t_{e}$ would be the time your watch shows when the signal left the transmitter. While the Time of Flight (ToF) is what is given by the "Newtonian" formulation of speed, when solved for time, $\frac{d}{c}$ as you state.
