Where this word comes from
From blokk (“block”) + dag (“day”), literally “block day”. The first element, blokk (“block”), is from Middle Low German block (“block”). Here it is used in the abstract sense of a coherent or continuous unit, referring to ordinary teaching periods being grouped into longer blocks. Compare blokkundervisning (“block teaching, block instruction”). The second element, dag (“day”), is inherited from Old Norse dagr (“day”), and is related to døgn (“24-hour period”). Compare the parallel formations Norwegian Nynorsk blokkdag and Danish blokdag (“block day”).
