þursdæg
Old English
editEtymology
editPossibly from a contraction of þunresdæġ (“Thursday”, literally “Thunor's day”), but more likely from Old Norse þōrsdagr or Old Danish þūrsdag (“Thursday”) (compare modern Danish torsdag); all from Proto-West Germanic *Þunras dag (“day of the thunder god”), a calque of Latin dies Iovis, equivalent to Þunres (“genitive of the god's name Þunor”) + dæġ (“day”). More at thunder, day.
