 Definition: 
  1. \Jour"ney\, n.; pl. {Journeys}. [OE. jornee, journee,
    prop., a day's journey, OF. jorn['e]e, jurn['e]e, a day, a
    day's work of journey, F. journ['e]e, fr. OF. jorn, jurn, jor
    a day, F. jour, fr. L. diurnus. See {Journal}.]
    1. The travel or work of a day. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
             We have yet large day, for scarce the sun Hath
             finished half his journey.            --Milton.
    2. Travel or passage from one place to another; hence,
       figuratively, a passage through life.
             The good man . . . is gone a long journey. --Prov.
                                                   vii. 19.
             We must all have the same journey's end. --Bp.
                                                   Stillingfleet.
    Syn: Tour; excursion; trip; expedition; pilgrimage.
    Usage: {Journey}, {Tour}, {Excursion}, {Pilgrimage}. The word
           journey suggests the idea of a somewhat prolonged
           traveling for a specific object, leading a person to
           pass directly from one point to another. In a tour, we
           take a roundabout course from place to place, more
           commonly for pleasure, though sometimes on business.
           An excursion is usually a brief tour or trip for
           pleasure, health, etc. In a pilgrimage we travel to a
           place hallowed by our religions affections, or by some
           train of sacred or tender associations. A journey on
           important business; the tour of Europe; an excursion
           to the lakes; a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
    
  2. \Jour"ney\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Journeyed}; p. pr. &
    vb. n. {Journeying}.]
    To travel from place to place; to go from home to a distance.
          Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
                                                   --Gen. xii. 9.
    
  3. \Jour"ney\, v. t.
    To traverse; to travel over or through. [R.] ``I journeyed
    many a land.'' --Sir W. Scott.
