A journey is a trip from one place to another, especially one that takes a long time. It can also mean the long process of change or growth in someone’s life.
From Old French “jornee” meaning a day’s travel or a day’s work, from Latin “diurnum” meaning “day”. Over time, the idea shifted from what you do in a day to the longer trip itself.
We often think of a journey as distance, but the word started out being about time—a single day. That’s why people now speak of a “life journey” even when they’re staying in the same place. The word quietly reminds us that change is measured in days, not just in miles.
