A day or a period of 24 hours; used in French cuisine terms like 'mise en jour' meaning to update or refresh.
From Old French 'jor', derived from Latin 'diurnus' meaning 'daily' or 'of the day'. The word evolved through French into English culinary vocabulary.
This French word sneaks into English in phrases like 'du jour' (of the day), which restaurants use for daily specials—it's how fancy menus tell you something is freshly made today, not yesterday's leftovers.
