v.

early 14c., ajournen, “-ssign a day” (for convening or reconvening), from old french ajourner (12c.) “meet” (at an appointed time), from the phrase à jorn “to a stated day” (à “to” + journ “day,” from latin diurnus “daily;” see diurnal).

the sense is to set a date for a re-meeting. meaning “to close a meeting” (with or without intention to reconvene) is from early 15c. meaning “to go in a body to another place” (1640s) is colloquial. the unhistorical -d- was added 16c. related: adjourned; adjourning.
