venture
VEN-cher · noun
English
Origin
"Venture" is simply a clipping of "adventure" — the front of the word was worn away over time, leaving the shorter form behind.
Journey
The facts here don't describe a shift in meaning, only a shortening in form: speakers trimmed "adventure" down to "venture."
