Etymology Origin:
The word "travel" originated from the Old French travailler ("to toil, labor"), which itself derived from the Latin tripalium (a three-staked instrument of torture). Over time, the meaning shifted from "struggle" to "journey," reflecting the hardships of medieval journeys. The modern sense of "going from place to place" emerged in Middle English, influenced by the Latin root trans- (across) and vehere (to carry).
