Word origin

The term 'journeyman' originated in the late Middle Ages, derived from the French word 'journรฉe', meaning 'day'. This referred to the practice of laborers being paid a daily wage, which was a common arrangement for skilled craftsmen who had completed their apprenticeships. During the medieval period, a journeyman had the right to work for any employer but was not allowed to open their own shop until they achieved the status of master craftsman. The system of guilds, established during this time, regulated the practice of trades and crafts, providing journeymen with a structured path to mastery. Over time, the term has evolved to refer broadly to skilled workers in various trades and is still widely used in many countries today.
