Trips or long passages from one place to another, or metaphorical passages through time or experience.
From Old French 'journée' (a day's travel), derived from Latin 'diurnata' and 'diurnus' (daily). The word originally meant literally one day's travel, but by the 1400s-1500s it expanded to mean any complete trip regardless of length.
The structure of human stories is almost always organized around journeys — from Homer's Odyssey to Lord of the Rings to Star Trek — and neuroscientists have discovered that our brains understand cause-and-effect better through spatial movement metaphors, which is why 'journey' became one of storytelling's most fundamental templates.
