Tuesday
Where this word comes from
Spread via the Lower Rhineland from Middle Low German dingesdach, dinsdach and Middle Dutch dinsendach (both with variants), and gradually replaced Middle High German ziestac and other High German forms like Alemannic German Zischtig or Bavarian Ertag. Only since the second half of the 17th. century is the modern form in common Script usage. Probably from Proto-Germanic *þingas-dagaz (“Day of Thingsus”), from *þingą + *dagaz. Thingsus is the attested Latin name of a Germanic god who may or may not be the same as Tiw. Further particulars unsettled. Another theory is that it is the “Day of the Thing (“historic Germanic council”)”. Dienstag is cognate with Dutch dinsdag and Luxembourgish Dënschdeg.
