The answer

DIARY

What diary means

A personal journal in which someone records private thoughts, feelings, and events from their daily life, often organized by date.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *diari*, derived from Old French *diaire*, which came from Latin *diarium* (daily record or journal). The Latin word traces to *dies* (day), the root shared with words like "diet" and "diurnal." The sense of a personal daily account emerged naturally from this "day" root, as such records were meant to be written each day.
