Why is it called a journey?

The Latin word dies means day, and diurnus means of a day. From the word diurnus came the early French jour, meaning day, and journee, meaning a day's work, a day's travel. Journee was borrowed into Middle English with both of its meanings, but only the second one, a day's travel, came into widespread use.
