覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 journey に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞です。journey はもと「一日分の行程」を表し、journeying は目的地だけでなく長い旅の過程に焦点を当てます。journeying across the desert、through the mountains、by train の形で覚え、日常的な短い移動を表す traveling より文学的な響きも意識します。
Journeying is the -ing form of the verb journey; the y remains because the suffix begins with a vowel and no spelling change is needed. Remember that journey originally referred to a day’s travel, which helps connect the word with movement unfolding over time. Journeying often emphasizes the route and experience rather than simply reaching a destination. Learn it in patterns such as journeying across the desert, journeying through the mountains, and journeying by train. Traveling is the more neutral everyday term, while journeying can sound literary and may suggest a long, meaningful, or demanding passage.

journeying の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 journée（一日の行程）からの派生で、ラテン語 diurnum（日々の）、dies（日）に遡る。journey（旅）に-ing を付け旅の過程を表す。関連語: journal（日誌）、diurnal（日中の）。「一日分の移動」が原義で、そこから広く旅行の意味に拡大した。
Journey entered English from Old French jornee or journée, originally meaning a day, a day’s work, or a day’s travel. The French word developed from Latin diurnum, “daily portion” or “day,” related to diurnus, “of the day.” The sense broadened from one day’s travel to a trip of any duration. Journeying is formed by adding -ing to journey without changing its final y.
