On a BBC News show Emily Maitliss invited viewers to post comments to a BBC
site on British PM Gordon Brown's appearance that day in front of, IIRC, the
Iraq War Inquiry; Emily warned viewers that the site had been 'legaled';
'journaled' reminded me of that!

Didn't a journal formerly mean a record of transactions?
Commercial data?
And then to the bound blank pages, likely with lines & columns?
And only later when people started using those for diaries?

I'm looking for the verb. There is such a thing as a journal
bearing, and there may be a verb that goes with that too, but m-w
wants me to sign up for a free trial before they'll tell me more about
it. :)

"Journal" comes from Old French. The "jour" part means "day".
There are senses that are now obsolete that came earlier than the
"record of commercial transactions" sense.
From the OED:
(The symbol † means obsolete.)
journal, adj. and n.
B. n.
I. A book or record.
†1. Christian Church. A service-book containing the day-hours:
= diurnal adj. 1. Obs.

(1898) I. 121 Ad repar. unius Jurnal.
....
†2.
a. A book containing notices concerning the daily stages of a route
and other information for travellers; = itinerary n. (Cf. journey n.
2, 3.)
1552 R. Huloet Abcedarium Anglico Latinum, Itinerary booke
wherein is wrytten the dystaunce from place to place, or wherin
thexpenses in iourney be written, or called other wyse a iournall,

in order to the keeping of accounts.

b. In Book-keeping by Double Entry, ....
1540 ....
4. A daily record of events or occurrences kept for private or
official use.
a. A record of events or matters of personal interest kept by any
one for his own use, in which entries are made day by day, or as the
events occur. ... Now usually implying something more elaborate than
a diary.
1610 ....
b. A register of daily transactions kept by a public body or an
association; spec. in pl. Journals, the record of the daily
proceedings in one or other of the Houses of Parliament, kept by the
Clerk of the House.

....
c. Naut. A daily register of the ship's course, the distance
traversed, the winds and weather, etc.; a log or log-book.

'Journalling' is widely used in computing, meaning the recording of
consecutive database transactions into a separate file, with the
intention that if something goes wrong with the database, the journal
entries can be used to replay the transactions and reconstruct the
database as it was just before the failure.
