A specific day on a calendar when something happens
Surface Forms
Morphology
The phrase denotes a straightforward compositional relation: the specific 'day' that belongs to a particular 'month' (the genitive/partitive relation marked by 'of the'), so its meaning is directly derivable from the constituents. This structure is a common, cross-linguistic calendrical construction and would be immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner who knows 'day' and 'month'.
Etymology
The phrase day of the month names the numbered day inside a month on a calendar, like the '15th' you might circle. So, it means the exact calendar day or 'date' in that month.
