Of or during the daytime; daily; active during the day.
From Latin 'diurnalis' (daily), from 'dies' (day). The opposite of nocturnal. Same root as 'journal' (a daily record) and 'journey' (originally: a day's travel).
'Journal' = daily writing! 'Journey' = a day's travel! BOTH come from the Latin for DAY! And if you're diurnal, you're a daytime creature — unlike owls, bats, and teenagers! 📓🌞
