[edit]Etymology
[edit]Noun
[edit]worknight (plural worknights)
- A night during which work is done.
- An evening before a day one has to work; a school night for someone who works rather than goes to school; typically the evenings of Sunday to Thursday.
Usage notes
[edit]In sense "night before working day", typically indicates evenings of Sunday to Thursday, which is the prior range of days to coordinate term workday, namely Monday through Friday, and hence a potential source of confusion.
Synonyms
[edit]- (Sunday through Thursday nights): school night
