thursday
"Thursday" is a straightforward word — it is the name of the fifth day of the week, coming after Wednesday and before Friday. It has essentially one meaning, though it appears in a few useful expressions worth knowing.
Thursday is the fifth day of the week in the modern calendar. Its name actually comes from Old English and means 'Thor's day' — named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder! In most countries, Thursday falls in the middle of the working week, closer to the weekend.
