Etymology

The word 'travel' originates from the Old French word 'travailler', which means 'to work' or 'to toil'. This French term is derived from the Latin word 'tripaliare', which means 'to torture' and refers to the act of encumbering oneself with burdens or difficulties, such as those faced during journeys. The meaning gradually evolved over time to signify the act of moving from one place to another, especially in the context of exploration or adventure. By the 14th century, the term began appearing in English texts, maintaining its connotation of distance and effort involved in the journey. The transformation from the notion of toil to a more neutral sense of journeying reflects the historical significance of travel in the human experience, encompassing both the hardships and the joys of venturing forth into the unknown.
