Main Entry: Wednes·day
Etymology: Old English wdnesdæg, literally, "Woden's day" : the fourth day of the week Word History Many gods were worshiped by the Germanic people who lived in northern Europe in ancient times. The chief of all the Germanic gods was one who is now usually called Odin. His name in Old English was Woden, and the fourth day of the week was called wdnesdæg, "day of Woden," or "Woden's day" in his honor. The Old English wdnesdæg eventually became the Modern English Wednesday.
