[edit] Etymology
From Middle English Tewesday, from Old English Tīwesdæġ (“Tuesday”), from Proto-Germanic *Tīwas dagaz (“Tuesday”, literally “Tiw's Day”) (a rendering of Latin dies Martis, itself a translation of Ancient Greek (Areos hemera)), equivalent to Proto-Germanic *Tīwaz (“god of war”) (compare Old Norse Tyr, Old High German Ziu), from Proto-Indo-European *dyewós (“god”) + Proto-Germanic *dagaz (“day”). Cognate with Scots Tysday (“Tuesday”), West Frisian tiisdei (“Tuesday”), German dialectal Ziestag (“Tuesday”), Danish tirsdag (“Tuesday”), Swedish tisdag (“Tuesday”). More at Zeus, day.
