From Old Norse frjádagr, from Proto-West Germanic *Frījā dag (“day of Frigg”).

Noun

frjádagur m (genitive singular frjádags, nominative plural frjádagar)

Usage notes

• This word was replaced during Iceland's shift to Christianity by föstudagur, which means simply "fasting day". It is now considered archaic, but may be used jocularly or by some revivalists.
