Dienstag

German Etymology Spread via the Lower Rhineland from de gml dingesdach dingesdach, dinsdach and de dum dinsendach (both with variants), and gradually replaced de gmh ziestac and other High German forms like de gsw Zischtig or de bar Ertag. Only since the second half of the 17th. century is the modern form in common Script usage. Probably from de gem-pro *þingą *þingas-dagaz Day of Thingsus, from gem-pro *þingą + gem-pro *dagaz. la Thingsus is the attested la - name of a de gem - god who may or may not be the same as ang Tiw. Further particulars unsettled. Another theory is that it is the “Day of the de Thing historic Germanic council”. Dienstag is cognate with nl dinsdag and lb Dënschdeg.
