Where this word comes from

From fag (“subject, field”) + dag (“day”), literally “subject day”. The first element, fag (“subject, field, discipline”), is borrowed from Middle Low German fak (“compartment, field”), originally referring to something joined together or a delimited area, and later developing the senses “field, discipline” and “school subject”. 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 fagdag, Danish fagdag and German Fachtag (“professional conference day”).
