Maren beat me to it but

In this context its the effects that are "live" rather than the paths
themselves, I think.

​I'd also say that "live" probably leans more towards more  "en vivo" like a
TV broadcast, than "alive" as opposed to "dead", because the path effects can
be adjusted dynamically, rather that be applied to an object and become
static.
