Where this word comes from
A learned back-formation from the 18th or 19th century from woensdag, the first element of which is a syncopic variation through d-weakening (compare broer and broeder) of Middle Dutch *Woeden, which may have existed as simplex or only as an element in compounds, which in turn derived from Old Dutch Wuodan (“Woden”), from Proto-West Germanic *Wōdan, from Proto-Germanic *Wōdanaz. Related to Dutch woeden (“to rage”), woede (“anger”) and woedend (“angry”). Cognate with English Woden, German Wotan, Icelandic Óðinn, Faroese Óðin, and Norwegian Nynorsk, Danish, and Swedish Oden.
