Etymology: "Journalised" is the past tense and past participle of "journalise", a variant spelling of "journalize" that British English uses. The verb is formed from "journal" plus the suffix "-ise", which turns a noun into a verb meaning to make, record or treat in a particular way. "Journal" itself comes from Old French "journal", meaning a daily record or a day's work, from Late Latin "diurnalis", relating to a day, which in turn derives from Latin "dies", day. The English noun thus began as something measured by the day, and a journal was originally a book of daily entries. So to journalise an event is literally to enter it into a daily record. The sense of regular, organised noting for later reference follows directly from that original idea of a record kept day by day.
