der Freitag, -e
Friday
Es ist der fünfte Tag der Woche, der zwischen Donnerstag und Samstag liegt.
The German word "Freitag" is a noun referring to the day of the week "Friday".
"Freitag" originates from Old High German "frîatac". The "Frei-" part can be traced back to the name "Frigg" (or "Freya"), who is the Norse goddess of love and fertility. Thus, "Freitag" is named after the goddess in a similar way that Friday in English is derived from "Frigg's Day".
Other days of the week in German with similar structure include "Montag" (Monday), "Dienstag" (Tuesday), "Mittwoch" (Wednesday), "Donnerstag" (Thursday), "Samstag" or "Sonnabend" (Saturday), and "Sonntag" (Sunday).
