Wednesday
noun
Wednes·day
ˈwenz-dē 
: the fourth day of the week
Etymology
Old English wōdnesdæg, literally, "Woden's day"
Word Origin
Many gods were worshipped 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 wōdnesdæg, "day of Woden," or "Woden's day" in his honor. The Old English wōdnesdæg eventually became the Modern English Wednesday.
