What Is The Plural Of Journey?

Plural word for  journey.

The plural form of journey is journeys (not journies ). Words that end with a – y preceded by a vowel ( a, e, i, o, u ) are made plural by adding an -s at the end, as in chimney / chimneys and monkey / monkeys . 

This can be confusing, because the plural form of words that end with a – y and are preceded by a consonant is made by changing the ending to -ies , as in party / parties , candy / candies , and duty / duties .

More About Journey

What does  journey mean.

A journey is a trip, especially one to a faraway place that takes place over a long period of time.

The word trip can refer to any instance of traveling from one place to another, no matter how long or short it is. The word journey , though, typically implies a long trip—one that’s at least several hours, and perhaps several months or even years. It also often implies adventure—a journey might even be a quest . A journey may or may not have a planned destination other than whatever lies ahead.

The word is also commonly used in a figurative way to liken any lengthy process or progress to such a trip, as in Life is a journey, with many interesting detours. 

Journey can also be used as a verb meaning to make a long trip, as in We must journey to the land beyond the mountains.

Example: My favorite books are about people who make epic journeys around the world.

Where does  journey come from?

The first records of the word journey come from around the 1200s. It comes from the Middle English word journee , meaning “day,” ultimately from unattested Vulgar Latin diurnāta , meaning “a day’s time” or “a day’s work.” In English, the meaning of the word journey originally meant something like “a day’s travel,” but eventually came to mean “a long trip.”

A journey can last a day but the word usually refers to longer trips. The word is sometimes preceded with the mode of transportation that’s used, as in The city is reachable only by a long train journey. Discussion of journeys often involves their destination or purpose. When people say, “It’s the journey , not the destination,” they mean that the significance and value of a journey is what happens along the way, from moment to moment, as opposed to the achievement of its ultimate goal.

Journey is an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1973 by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987, after which it temporarily disbanded. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981's "Don't Stop Believin'", which became in 2009 the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band's eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, "Open Arms". Its 1983 follow-up, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band's appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion in the mid-1990s, and later regrouped with a series of lead singers. Sales have resulted in two gold albums, eight multi-platinum albums, and one diamond album. They have had eighteen Top 40 singles in the US, six of which reached the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and two of which reached No. 1 on other Billboard charts, and a No. 6 hit on the UK Singles Chart in "Don't Stop Believin'". Originally a progressive rock band, Journey was described by Allmusic as having cemented a reputation as "one of America's most beloved commercial rock/pop bands" by 1978, when they redefined their sound by embracing traditional pop arrangements on their fourth album, Infinity. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Journey has sold 47 million albums in the US, making them the 28th best selling band. Their worldwide sales have reached over 80 million albums. A 2005 USA Today opinion poll named Journey the fifth best American rock band in history. Their songs have become arena rock staples and are still played on rock radio stations across the world.

Our journey journey

In " Peevable words and phrases: journey ", 5/18/2024, Victor quoted Lisa Miller, " When Did Everything Become a ‘Journey’? ", NYT 5/16/2024:

According to the linguistics professor Jesse Egbert at Northern Arizona University, the use of “journey” (the noun) has nearly doubled in American English since 1990, with the most frequent instances occurring online.

In PubMed , where we've been tracking other changes in word frequency lately , the change from 1990 to 2024 in the frequency of "journey" was 10.2 to 227.9 (per 100k articles), or a factor of 22.3 — which is a lot more than doubling:

And the rise has been going on long enough that we can't blame it on LLMs…

In the Corpus of Historical American English , the frequency of "journey" has been increasing since the 1940s (though the change between 1990 and the 2010s is more like 1.5 than 2, much less 22…) But before that, the frequency of "journey" fell pretty steadily from the 1840s onwards — and especially sharply after 1910. Perhaps this is because railroads and then the automobile turned lots of what used to be "journeys" into mere local trips?

Note that the first gloss for "journey" in Webster's 1828 dictionary is "The travel of a day", which makes sense since the etymology is from Latin diurnus . And a reasonable day's travel would have been maybe 10-15 miles on foot, and maybe 20-30 miles on horseback — whereas an automobile on decent roads could do 20-30 miles in less than an hour.

Google ngrams shows a similar pattern — with a factor of 3 from 1990 to 2019 :

(I've asked the site to multiply by 10000 since that turns percentages into more useful frequency-per-million-word values.)

If you look at a sample of PubMed's  recent contexts for "journey", you may get a clue about why the increase in frequency is so much greater there than in COHA and Google ngrams.

Uh, guys… Think that the post-1980 spike might have anything to do with… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_(band) ?

Yes, even before I clicked on the link I guessed that it was because of the increasing publication of qualitative research. This is often based on semi-structured interviews or focus groups and it seeks to capture the experiences of people, such as patients living with a chronic illness, or providers adapting to their profession. The idea that they go through a transformation of some kind, often metaphorically called a journey, is very common. And, of course, explor* is likely to be associated with this as well. No need to blame AI, in fact this is one kind of paper that I expect it wouldn't be any use for.

This so probably a dumb question, but isn’t “most frequently online” a useless qualifier?

How does one measure non-online uses?

And how does one account for what, seems to me, to be an inescapable over-measurement of online vs offline?

I had noticed this change in usage, but I mostly attributed it to British influence. With the globalization of English-language media, a lot of British locutions have become more common in North America, and this seemed to be one of them.

Mark Liberman said,

@Brett: "I had noticed this change in usage, but I mostly attributed it to British influence. "

There's apparently some truth to the idea that "journey" has historically been more common in British than in American English — from Google Books ngrams:

Maybe car culture advanced further and faster in the U.S., and then the new metaphorical gloss helped us catch up in "journey" frequency?

July 10, 2024 @ 5:25 pm

@Brett I mostly attributed it to British influence

Do you have any actual evidence this is a particularly British word? myl cites Webster's 'AMERICAN DICTIONARY of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE' 1828 (whose example is from Genesis 1539 King's Bible) and PubMed "An official website of the United States government".

The 1959 movie 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' seems to be an impeccably U.S. production.

As @Cervantes notes, a trend over the last several decades is 'Patient Journey' in healthcare . All the jargon on that wiki page and links from it seems to have originated in U.S. (IDS as a formally denoted 'business model' might be a decade or so old, but note that page uses 'patient journey' as a already-common term of art. I'd certainly heard it in healthcare in the '90's.)

Or are you talking about this globali(z/s)ation having happened at some indefinite time since 1589? 1828? 1913? 1959? See LLog anon under 'Recency Effect'.

July 10, 2024 @ 6:27 pm

I suggest that you look at the phenomenon of the word 'journey' in the context of the phenomenon of the passage of the "saying" (which I guess originated in an expression of Emerson's), "It's not the destination, it's the journey", through post-flower-power spiritual quest to pseudo-esoteric "new age" tropes, to Dr Chopra and Oprah, to sitcoms, advertising and finally PubMed. The "new age" gurus said, "You've been thinking about things all wrong; here's a new way of looking at life: "It's not the destination, it's the journey". And voila, just by repeating that expression, now everybody repeats it, and thinks about everything in that way. Now, if we can only have that happen with, "And the second is like unto it; thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself".

July 10, 2024 @ 6:35 pm

The above was before seeing AntC's comment, but many of the PubMed examples seem to be using this trope.

July 10, 2024 @ 6:53 pm

using this trope

Thanks @JPL. The 'patient journey' (if it's a trope) in a healthcare setting is not so new-age. It's to encourage healthcare practitioners to see themselves as part of a *system* (from the patient's point of view), rather than a fragmented/competing bunch of specialisms. And whilst it's nice to be nice to patients, the emphasis is on efficiencies/saving healthcare costs for the healthcare insurer (in U.S.) or public funder (in all civilised countries).

My earlier questioning was before seeing myl's ngram; but out of the same wish to not let stand an unsupported impressionistic claim.

Somehow I had never noticed that journey is journée …

July 11, 2024 @ 7:55 am

So, it originally meant what we might call a "day-trip"?

J.W. Brewer said,

July 11, 2024 @ 8:10 am

This discussion of the noun made me curious about the verb "to journey," and indeed the google books ngram viewer shows both "journeyed" and "journeying" having more than doubled in rate of usage since bottoming out in the early 1980's (having by 2019 returned to approximately where they'd been a century or so previous), so perhaps a parallel trend. OTOH, the good old noun "journeyman" has continued its long-term decline.

July 12, 2024 @ 3:18 pm

That's what the OP says:

Note that the first gloss for "journey" in Webster's 1828 dictionary is "The travel of a day", which makes sense since the etymology is from Latin diurnus .

Beatles, "Day Tripper"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IbPn5j2YKk

Love the opening guitar riffs.

July 12, 2024 @ 6:48 pm

Thank you Victor! For me it's the vocal harmonies: on "For takin' the easy way out", and in fact in the whole song. Do we have an example of such adventurous harmony in today's music?

July 12, 2024 @ 7:22 pm

"Sunday driver, yeah"

The day trip starts out from home, ventures out and comes back home; it really is more about the "path" (reminds me of Talmy). The kind of trip the "new age" metaphor seems to describe more often is one where the destination is different from the origin, and includes the purposeful struggles to reach it, so the part between, e.g., Samoa and Hawaii becomes pretty significant.

In Spanish, jornada still means the distance one can travel in a day, thence a stretch of road between inns; hence the infamous Jornada del Muerto near Alamogordo, NM.

Destination Paris: Gymnast Jordan Chiles' long journey back to the Olympics is rooted in joy

S PRING, Texas (AP) — Editor’s note: Olympic athletes competing in the marquee sports of gymnastics, swimming and track and field train for one shot at gold every four years with little margin for error. The Associated Press followed several of those athletes during their preparations for the Paris Games, including Jordan Chiles.

Jordan Chiles still remembers the first time someone handed her a ribbon for something she did at a gymnastics meet.

She was maybe 7 or 8 and a Level 4, the entry point to competition for the thousands of kids who take up the sport.

The details of what Chiles did that day are fuzzy at best. The jolt of adrenaline that sprinted through her as she caressed the first of what has become countless gold ribbons is not.

“I was like, ‘Oh, this is what it feels like to win? Okay, I got this. This is cool,’” Chiles said.

It still is, only Chiles' definition of winning has evolved nearly two decades after that initial blush with success.

Sure, she remains intensely competitive, a trait Chiles says she inherited from her mother Gina. Yet Chiles realized a while ago the competition she faces whenever she steps onto the podium doesn't come from the outside, but from within.

When Chiles walks into Bercy Arena in Paris on July 28 to begin a second trip to the Olympics very few outside of her inner circle saw coming when 2024 began, her goal won't be to beat anyone but to vanquish a memory.

Don't get her wrong. Chiles cherishes the silver medal that the four-woman U.S team earned at the Tokyo Games three years ago on a memorable night in which good friend Simone Biles removed herself from the lineup in the middle of the meet to focus on her mental health.

“We won that silver,” Chiles said. “We had so much grace and power and leadership in that moment. I was just so proud of everybody.”

It's what happened two days prior during qualifying, however, that lingers. Chiles fell off the balance beam that night inside the eerily quiet Ariake Gymnastics Centre and put together a sloppy routine on bars that was far from her best.

Chiles didn't come particularly close to earning a spot in any of the individual finals and remembers the tearful phone call in the aftermath to Gina — half a world away back in Houston after COVID-19 pandemic protocols prevented family and friends from making the trip to Japan.

“I was like, 'This is crazy, I failed,'” Chiles said.

The decision to make a run at the Paris Games was born in that moment. And it had nothing to do with coming home with “just” one medal in her carry-on. She had let the weight of it all leave her “overwhelmed and stressed” at a time she should have been enjoying the realization of a dream. It just never really felt that way.

“That wasn’t my best performance," she said. “I knew I could give more.”

Chiles had no idea at the time how much it would take to get back.

The last three years have been a whirlwind. She enrolled at UCLA in the fall of 2021 and spent two seasons leaning into the team environment and freedom of expression that college gymnastics provide, particularly on floor exercise, where the hip-hop-inspired routine she competed as a sophomore went viral and racked up perfect 10s in equal measure.

She left the Bruins and returned to World Champions Centre in Houston in the summer of 2023 to begin preparations for Paris, a transition that proved harder than expected both personally and professionally.

Chiles lost her aunt, Crystal Oliver, and grandfather Gene Velasquez, in 2023.

“They always believed in me before they passed, that if I could do (one Olympics) I could do another,” Chiles said.

And so she pressed on even as she grieved, a process she admitted after the U.S. Olympic trials she is still going through. She honored Velasquez with a tattoo on her left forearm that reads "Where you are, I have been. Where I am, you will be.”

That's why the tears flowed so freely when Chiles heard her name among the five called at the end of the U.S. gymnastics trials last month. The last 15 months have been a roller coaster, emotionally, mentally and physically.

Turns out she missed her college teammates more than she imagined. Her elite skills were slow(ish) to return. She was disappointed when she wasn't selected for the world championship team last fall, a decision she knew was right based on where she was at the time.

Gina Chiles describes the journey her daughter has been on lately as “pure grit.” That's not a proud parent pumping up their child. It's the reality.

Jordan missed Winter Cup in February — the first tune-up of the year — with a sprained shoulder. About three weeks later she suffered a bone bruise and partially tore the lateral collateral ligament on the outside of her knee.

“I was like, ‘I’m done. I’m over this. I’m not doing any more. This is not it,'” Chiles said.

The lure of quitting passed, replaced with the realization that the downtime provided her with an opportunity to upgrade her uneven bars, the only one of the four events where the stress on the lower body is minimal.

She also learned to let everything go and practice what she so often preaches to younger gymnasts, whom she tells to “write your story, write your chapters, and they're going to turn out how you want them to turn out.”

No matter how the run-up to Paris went, she understood that certain things were never going to change.

“I am a world champion. I will forever be a world champion. I’m an Olympian. I will forever be an Olympian," she said. "Those titles will never be stripped away from me.”

Some new ones, however, may be added by the end of the Games. A team gold would be nice. So would a spot in an event final. Her best chances may be on vault or floor exercise, though she'll have to finish ahead of at least two of her teammates during qualifying to have a shot.

There is something more basic at stake, however. Medal or no medal, she wants to go out there and maximize the talent she believes God has given her. That didn't happen in Tokyo. And that is why she's here, putting her body through this while serving as the unofficial hype woman of a team that will arrive in Paris under a spotlight that can sometimes be scorching.

She's grown used to the temperature, driven by a purpose that goes far beyond anything that may happen in the arena.

Chiles knows she's part of a wave of women of color who have made gymnastics more accessible and visible to athletes who look like her. Her mission isn't focused on winning but feeling empowered to do things your way. It's one of the reasons Chiles' Beyonce-inspired leotards and floor music are not a coincidence.

“If she's a queen, I'm a queen,” Chiles said with a laugh.

More importantly, Chiles is also a role model. The lesson she wants others to take away during this somewhat unexpected Olympic return is: don't put limits on yourself.

It's why, when you ask her about the Los Angeles Games that loom four years away — when she'll be 27, the same age good friend Biles is now — she plays coy.

“For ‘28, you never know,” she said. “You might see me in gymnastics or you might see me in a different sport. I’m not going to say what sport. You could still see me competing though, I'll give you that.”

The answer to those questions can wait. There are more pressing matters in front of her. Namely, finding joy in simply still being able to do this. After all she's been through, she owes it to herself.

“I did dedicate my life to this,” she said. “I did sacrifice a lot of things for myself. I did do all these things. And at the end of the day, when it’s finally done it over with, I can finally I can look at myself in the mirror and be like, ‘You did everything that you said you (would).’”

  • Implementing and Using Journeys

Examples of Configuring Journey and Task Display Properties

Let's look at some examples of how you use the journey display properties to restrict access to certain areas. You configure the display in the Display Settings tab.

Journey Level

In an off boarding journey, you want to restrict line managers from seeing tasks that need to be completed by other users. You hide the section that lists others' incomplete tasks only for line managers.

You can define the access level for each user as indicated in this table.

Let's see another example where you want to restrict line managers and other users from seeing the Contact Us section in an assigned journey. You hide the section only for line managers and other users.

  • You can control the display of the Contact Us section only on Journeys pages and not responsive checklists and onboarding pages.
  • To include the display property changes in assigned journeys, you need to run the Update Assigned Journey Attributes Based on Modified Journey Template process.

You configure a task of the type questionnaire to collect feedback from employees on their off boarding experience. You don't want this feedback to be visible to the line manager and other users. Therefore, you don't give access to this task to the line manager and other users.

Let's see another example where you want to send reminders for the tasks assigned to an employee as part of their onboarding journey. You want to enable the Send Reminder button on the Employee tasks section only for those tasks for which you want to send a reminder. For example, you want to send a reminder to the employee to sign the confidentiality agreement and read and sign the ethics code of conduct. Additionally, you don’t want to send a reminder to the employee to review campus map and directions.

  • Sign the Confidentiality Agreement
  • Read and Sign the Ethics Code of Conduct

Additionally, configure the display settings as indicated in this table for the Review Campus Map and Directions task:

  • Review Campus Map and Directions

This is because the Send Reminder display setting is set to Hide for the Review Campus Map and Directions task and the same setting is set to Show for the other 2 tasks.
