French

Etymology

Inherited from Old French jor, jorn, from Latin diurnum [tempus], from the neuter of the adjective diurnus (“of the day”), which is cognate with diēs (“day”). The sound change from Latin to French (‘diur’ to ‘jor’) is due to the [i] changing to a [j], followed by a merger of [dj] into [j]; compare French journal (“journal”). Doublet of diurne, a borrowing.
