EtymologyEdit

From Middle English Tewesday, from Old English tīwesdæġ (Tuesday), from Proto-West Germanic *Tīwas dag (Tuesday, literally Tiw's Day).

This was a Germanic interpretation of Latin diēs Mārtis, itself a translation of Ancient Greek Ἄρεως ἡμέρα (Áreōs hēméra) (interpretatio romana). Cognate with Scots Tysday (Tuesday), Saterland Frisian Täisdai (Tuesday), West Frisian tiisdei (Tuesday), dialectal German Ziestag (Tuesday), Danish tirsdag (Tuesday), Swedish tisdag (Tuesday). More at Tyr, day.
