FromMiddle EnglishFriday, fromOld Englishfrīġedæġ. Compound ofFrīġ anddæġ(“day”), fromProto-West Germanic*Frījā dag, a calque ofLatindiēs Veneris, via an association (interpretātiō germānica) of the goddessFrigg with the Roman goddess of loveVenus.

Frigg is cognate withSanskritप्रिया(priyā́,“wife”). The root also appears inOld Saxonfri(“beloved lady”); inSwedishfria, inDanish andNorwegian asfri(“to propose for marriage”); a related meaning exists in Icelandic asfrjá(“to love”) and similarly inDutchvrijen(“to make love (to have sex)”).
