Etymology
Friday comes from the old English name Frīġedæg, meaning 'Frigg's day', named for the Norse goddess Frigg who was connected to love and the home. So Friday was the goddess's day, and many languages do the same: Spanish 'viernes' comes from the goddess Venus. That helps explain why Friday often feels like the start of rest and pleasure.
