Journey carries an ordinal value of 108, reducing to Nine, a number tied to completion and compassion. Its reverse ordinal of 81 sits well below its forward ordinal of 108, a sign that most of its letters fall late in the alphabet.
"Journey" comes from the Old French journee, a day's work or a day's travel, from the Latin diurnus, "daily." It originally meant the distance that could be covered in a day, which also explains the word "journal," a daily record.
How Journey adds up
In the ordinal cipher each letter takes its position in the alphabet. Journey is spelled J-O-U-R-N-E-Y, which gives 10 + 15 + 21 + 18 + 14 + 5 + 25 = 108. Reducing the total to a single digit (1+0+8=9) gives 9.
