Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Originally cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian thunresdei , Middle Dutch donresdach , donderdach (Dutch donderdag ), Old High German donarestag (Middle High German donerstac , donrestac , German Donnerstag ) < the genitive of the Germanic base of thunder n. (used as the name of a god: see note) + the Germanic base of day n., originally after post-classical Latin dies Iovis day of (the planet) Jupiter (2nd or 3rd cent.; frequently from c1115 in British sources; compare Hellenistic Greek Διὸς ἡμέρα , probably after Latin); subsequently (in β. forms) reinforced by early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic þórsdagr, Old Swedish þorsdagher (Swedish torsdag), Danish torsdag), itself probably after forms in West Germanic languages.In γ. forms remodelled after thunder n. 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 have substituted for the Roman god's name that of a comparable one from the Germanic pantheon. The Germanic god could be identified with Jupiter as a controller of thunder; he was also identified with Hercules in other contexts. Compare also quot. OE¹ at sense A.α. and the following glosses:eOE Corpus Gloss. (1890) 70/1 Iouem, þuner.eOE Cleopatra Gloss. in W. G. Stryker Lat.-Old Eng. Gloss. in MS Cotton Cleopatra A.III (Ph.D. diss., Stanford Univ.) (1951) 252 Ioppiter, þunor oþþe ður. Compare ( < post-classical Latin dies Iovis ) Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French jeudi (1119 as juesdi ), Old Occitan dijous , jous (13th cent.; Occitan dijòus , jòus ), Catalan dijous (late 13th cent., also jous (late 12th cent.)), Spanish jueves (late 11th cent. as joves ), Italian giovedì (1253 as giovidì ). The α. forms show original short ŭ and its reflexes; the β. forms chiefly reflect early Scandinavian long close ō , which was retained in Middle English and developed regularly into Older Scots ui /yː/. Some Scots forms are ambiguous and have been listed with the α. forms. The δ. forms show substitution of f for th chiefly in Scots (see th n.¹ (6)).
