Etymologies

  1. From Middle English, from Old English þursdæġ, þurresdæġ ("Thursday"), possibly from a contraction of Old English þunresdæġ ("Thursday", literally "Thor's day"), but more likely of North Germanic origin, from Old Norse þōrsdagr or Old Danish þūrsdag ("Thursday"); all from Proto-Germanic *Þunras dagaz (“Thor's day”). Compare West Frisian tongersdei, Dutch donderdag, German Donnerstag, Danish torsdag. More at thunder, day. (Wiktionary)
  2. Middle English, from Old English thūres dæg, alteration (influenced by Old Norse thōrsdagr, Thor's day) of thunres dæg, Thor's day (translation of Late Latin Iovis diēs, Jupiter's day) : thunres, genitive of thunor, thunder; + dæg, day; see day.
