A man who served his apprenticeship in a trade and worked as a fully qualified employee. The term originated in the regulations of the medieval trade guilds; it derives from the French journée (‘a day’) because journeymen were paid daily. |

Journey has the same French root, but it was originally a day's travel. Similarly a journal was originally a daily log or diary - still is come to that. |
