Etymology
-From lang:ang frigedæg. Compound of frīġe and dæġ "day", corresponding to late lang:gem-pro {{recons|Frijjōz dagaz|day of Frigg|lang=gem-pro}}. Compare West Frisian freed, Dutch vrijdag, German Freitag, Danish fredag.Old Norse Frigg (genitive Friggjar), Old Saxon Fri, and Old English Frig are derived from Common Germanic Frijjō.[5] Frigg is cognate with Sanskrit prīyā́ which means "wife."[5] The root also appears in Old Saxon fri which means "beloved lady", in Swedish as fria ("to propose for marriage") and in Icelandic as frjá which means "to love."A calque of Latin dies Veneris, via an association of the goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess of love Venus.
