Etymology of JURNEY

The word journey ultimately comes from the Old French word jornee which means a day's travel or a day's work. It has its roots in the Latin word diurnus which means pertaining to a day or daily. The Latin word was later modified into jornata which meant a day's work and was borrowed into Old French as jornee. Eventually, this term evolved into the Middle English word journey, which retained its meaning of travel or passage from one place to another.
