[edit] Etymology

Via Middle English, from Old English tōdæge, tō dæge, made from tō + dæge, the dative of dæg ("day").

  • The first component [to-] is from Middle English, from Old English tō ("towards, for the purpose of"), from West Germanic *to, from Proto-Indo-European *do- ("to, toward, upward").
  • The second component [-day] is from Middle English, from Old English dæg, from Proto-Germanic *dagaz, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- ("to burn"). It is not related to Latin dies (which is from Proto-Indo-European base *dyeu- ("to shine")), but rather to Sanskrit दाह (dāha, "heat"), which came from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- ("to burn").
  • Thus, today and day are not related to Latin diēs, but instead to fever.
