Etymology: "Travellings" is the plural of "travelling", so the story belongs to the base word. "Travelling" is the present participle and gerund of "travel", used as a noun for the act of journeying. The plural form is rare and marks separate trips or instances of travel, as in several journeys taken over the years. Its origin lies in "travel", which is itself a variant of "travail", meaning labour or toil, so the root sense of a journey was once hard work.

Synonyms: journeys, voyages, expeditions, trips, excursions
