journalとは

意味・読み方・使い方

語源

From Anglo-Norman jurnal (“daily”), from Old French jornel (“day”) (French journal),^[1] from Latin diurnālis, from diurnus (“of the day”), from diēs (“day”) (whence also diary), form of Latin diem, from Proto-Italic *djēm (form of *djous), from Proto-Indo-European *dyḗws (“heaven, sky”). Cognate with diurnal. The sound change from Latin to French (‘diur’ to ‘jor’) is due to the ‘i’ changing to a ‘j’, followed by the ‘d’ being dropped; compare French jour (“day”).^[1][2]
