Meaning & usage
Tuesday
Where this word comes from
From aste (“week”) + arte (“between”), literally “middle of the week”. While some authors have interpreted this etymology as meaning that sometime in the past Basques used a three-day week, this seems unlikely, furthermore the expected form if this was an ancient compound would be *astarte, using the combining form asta-. Instead, it is probable that this term originated in relatively recent times, but the motivation of its etymology is unknown. See also astelehen (“Monday”, literally “beginning of the week”) and asteazken (“Wednesday”, literally “end of the week”).
