Definition
A daily record or journal where someone writes down events, observations, or transactions that happened during the day.
Etymology
Compound of 'day' and 'book.' Used since the 1600s for logbooks in navigation and accounting ledgers; later expanded to personal diaries and business records.
Kelly Says
Ship captains' daybooks are treasures for historians—a captain might casually mention weather or crew morale in a few lines, but that tiny note helps us understand life at sea 300 years ago.
