Black Mondayn.

Brit.

/ˌblak ˈmʌndeɪ/, U.S.

/ˌblæk ˈməndeɪ/

Forms: see black adj. and n. and Monday n. and adv.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: black adj., Monday n.

Etymology: < black adj. + Monday n., with reference to the day being popularly considered unlucky. See also black adj. 11b.The historical explanations given for sense 1 in the quotation evidence are unreliable. For the most common suggestions, see quots. ?1435, 1580, 1916, and 1987 at sense 1 on the one hand, and quots. a1604, a1761, 1832, and 1884 at sense 1 on the other. A popular belief in the unlucky character of Mondays is attested in British sources from the Old English period onwards. Three Mondays were considered particularly unlucky: in post-classical Latin as well as Old English sources, these are given as the Monday after 25 March (or in Old English sources the last Monday in April), the first Monday in August, and the last Monday in December. See further B. Blackburn & L. Holford-Strevens Oxf. Compan. Year (1999) 575–6, 625, L.S. Chardonnens Anglo-Saxon Prognostics (2007) 330–44. It is possible that the common notion that rejoicing is naturally followed by calamity may have caused Easter Monday to be regarded as even more inauspicious than other Mondays.

1. (A name given to) Easter Monday. Now chiefly rare.
