Where this word comes from
From earlier *laugantaki (compare dialectal lauvantaki), borrowed from North Germanic (compare Old Norse laugardagr). The meaning is "bathing day", which is fitting as bathing in a sauna on Saturday evenings remains common in Finland. Estonian laupäev, Votic laukopäive, Ingrian laukopäivä are from the same origin.
