n. the fifth day of the week, following Wednesday and preceding Friday.
The word "Thursday" originates from Old English "Þūnresdæg," meaning "Thor's day." It is named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder, equivalent to the Roman god Jupiter (Jove). The Germanic peoples adapted the Roman naming convention (e.g., Latin "Jovis dies," Jupiter's day) but replaced Roman deities with their own. Over time, "Þūnresdæg" evolved into "Thursday," preserving the association with Thor while aligning with modern English spelling.
