ラテン語さん 1/7『世界はラテン語でできている』発売(@latina_sama) 's Twitter Profile Photo

英語Wednesday「水曜日」のWednes-の部分は、北欧神話の主神「オーディン」が語源です。大昔の英語では「ウォードネスデイ(wōdnesdæġ)」という発音でしたが、dの文字は読まれなくなりました。
ちなみに、ドイツ語で「水曜日」は'Mittwoch'といい、文字通りには'週の半ば'です。

The name 'Wednesday' derives from Old English 'Wōdnesdæg,' which means 'Woden's day.' Woden, better known as Odin in Old Norse, was a chief deity in the Germanic pantheon, associated with wisdom, poetry, healing, and war. The name is analogous to the Latin 'dies Mercurii,'

ALL MY PLANS FOR WORLD DOMINATION WERE PREMATURE: boy were they ever. Nonetheless, something for Wodnesdaeg as we used to say around here, the MTX of '91 doing 'What Went Wrong' at Cybelle's Pizza in El Cerrito, CA 6/29/91.

'Wednesday' is derived from 'Wōdnesdæg' which means 'Odin's day', the Norse god.
But in french this day is 'Mercredi' which means 'Mercury's day'
