jour (plural jours)

1. (chiefly US) Abbreviation of journeyman, e.g. jour printer.

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”).[1] Doublet of diurne, a borrowing.

     L’aube du jour commençait à poindre quand don Quichotte sortit de l’hôtellerie, si content, si glorieux, si plein de ravissement de se voir armé chevalier, que sa joie en faisait tressaillir jusqu’aux sangles de son cheval.

     The dawn of the day was beginning to break when Don Quixote left the inn, so content, so glorious, so full of ravishment of seeing himself armed a knight, that his joy made him tremble all the way to the girths of his horse.
