voyage 旅行，航海，航空

来自古法语voiage，旅行，航程，词源同via,way。后主要指航海。

voyage: 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.
