Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French 'journée' (meaning a day's work or travel), stemming from the Vulgar Latin 'diurnata' based on 'diurnus' (daily). Over time, the meaning shifted from the duration of a day's travel to the act of traveling from one place to another, and metaphorically to any course of life or development.
