friday
UK: ˈfraɪdeɪ | US: ˈfraɪdeɪ
n. the sixth day of the week, following Thursday and preceding Saturday
The word "Friday" originates from Old English Frīġedæġ, meaning "day of Frigg" (the Norse goddess of love and fertility, equivalent to Venus in Roman mythology). The name evolved from Proto-Germanic Frijjōz dagaz, where Frijjō refers to the goddess and dagaz means "day." Over time, the spelling simplified to "Friday," retaining the core idea of a day dedicated to a divine feminine figure. The morpheme "fri" is linked to concepts of freedom and love, while "day" remains unchanged in meaning.
