Where this word comes from
Borrowed from North Germanic, probably Old Swedish frē(i)adagher, frīadagher; ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *Frījā dag. Details Since Finnish historically lacks f and initial consonant clusters (such as fr), the word was adapted to fit the language's phonological rules, with f- becoming p- and an insertion of an epenthetic vowel pr- > per- to prevent an initial consonant cluster followed by haplology or dropping of the unstressed vowel pere- > per-, or alternatively a metathesis pre- > per-. For the -antai ending, compare maanantai (“Monday”) and sunnuntai (“Sunday”).
