voyage: [13] Voyage goes back ultimately to Latin via ‘way’ (source also of the English preposition via [18]). From it was derived viāticum, which originally meant ‘provisions for a journey’, but in post-classical times was used for simply ‘journey’. English acquired it via Old French veiyage and Anglo-Norman voiage. => via
