Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'day' combined with 'of the week' denotes one of the seven days that make up a week. This grammatical possessive/prepositional structure is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows 'day' and 'week' will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Day of the week comes from the simple idea that people grouped seven days together as a week and gave each day a name like Monday or Friday. That's why the phrase means 'any one of the seven named days'.
