one-day
UK: ˈwʌn.deɪ | US: ˈwʌn.deɪ
adj. lasting for or occurring within a single day
adj. designed to be used or completed in one day
The word "one-day" is a straightforward compound formed by combining "one" (from Old English "ān," meaning "single") and "day" (from Old English "dæg," meaning "a 24-hour period"). It follows a transparent logical structure, where the two morphemes retain their original meanings to describe something that happens or is valid within a single day. This compounding pattern is common in English to create descriptive adjectives (e.g., "long-term," "high-speed").
