Icelandic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old Norse frjádagr, from Proto-West Germanic *Frījā dag (“day of Frigg”).
Noun[edit]
frjádagur m (genitive singular frjádags, nominative plural frjádagar)
Usage notes[edit]
- This word was replaced during Iceland's shift to Christianity by föstudagur, which means simply "fasting day". It is now considered archaic, but may be used jocularly or by some revivalists.
