means A trip or process of traveling from one place to another, especially a long one — and by extension any extended passage through time, experience, or transformation.

from From Old French 'journee,' meaning a day's work or a day's travel — how far you could go between sunrises. That sits on the Latin 'diurnus,' 'of the day' (from 'dies,' day), a cousin of words like 'diurnal' and 'journal.' So a journey was once measured not in miles but in days, and the word still carries that older sense: not a point on a map, but the long stretch of time it takes to get there.
