A French greeting meaning 'hello' or 'good day,' used to say hello during daytime hours.
From French, combining 'bon' (good, from Latin 'bonus') and 'jour' (day, from Latin 'diurnus'), literally meaning 'good day.'
French has different greetings for different times of day—'bonjour' for daytime, 'bonsoir' for evening—showing that some languages treat time-of-day formality more seriously than English does.
