Also (in sense A. 2) with lower-case initial.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian mōnandei , Middle Dutch mānendach , maendach (Dutch maandag ), Middle Low German mānendach , māndach , mānedach , maendach , Old High German mānetac (Middle High German mēntag , māntac , mōntag , German Montag ), Old Icelandic mánadagr , Old Swedish manadagher (Swedish måndag ), Danish mandag < the Germanic base of moon n.¹ + the Germanic base of day n., after post-classical Latin Lunae dies (3rd cent.; also Lunis dies). Compare Hellenistic Greek ἡμέρα σελήνης (probably after Latin).The Latin days of the week in imperial Rome were named after the planets, which in turn were named after gods (see discussion at week n.). In most cases the Germanic names show replacement of the Roman god's name with that of an equivalent god from the Germanic pantheon. In the case of Monday (as also of Sunday ), the name of the planet (as the moon was considered in the classical period) and the god were the same. Compare ( < post-classical Latin Lunis dies ) Old French lunsdis (1119; c1160 as lundi ; French lundi ), Old Occitan diluns , dialus (15th cent.), Catalan dilluns (14th cent.), Spanish lunes (13th cent.), Italian lunedì (1282). In sense A. 2 perhaps so called because the hard work involved in the use of the hammer provides a shock similar to coming back to work on a Monday (compare quot. 1974 at sense A. 2). In use as adverb in sense B. 1 originally (in Old English) the dative of the noun used adverbially.

A. n.

1. The day following Sunday and preceding Tuesday, traditionally regarded as the second day of the week, but now frequently considered the first (following the weekend).Black, Collop, Fat, Nut-, Saint, Whit Monday, etc.: see the first element.
