Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JOURNEY (through O. Fr. jornee or journee, mod. Fr. journee, from med. Lat. diurnata, Lat. diurnus, of or belonging to dies, day) , properly that which occupies a day in its performance, and so a day's
work
 , particularly a day's travel, and the distance covered by such, usually reckoned in the
middle
  ages as twenty miles. The word is now used of travel covering a certain amount of distance or lasting a certain amount of
time
 , frequently defined by qualifying words. " Journey " is usually applied to travel by
land
 , as opposed to " voyage," travel by sea. The early use of
journey " for a day's
work
 , or the amount produced by a day's work, is still found in glassmaking, and also at the British
Mint
 , where a " journey " is taken as equivalent to the coinage of 15 lb of
standard
  gold, 701 sovereigns, and of 6o lb of silver. The
term
  " journeyman " also preserves the
original
  significance of the word. It distinguishes a qualified workman or mechanic from an " apprentice " on the one hand and a " master " on the other, and is applied to one who is employed by another person to work at his
trade
  or occupation at a day's wage.
