Tuesday的词源
英文词源
- Tuesday
- Tuesday: [OE] Tiu was the Germanic god of war and the sky (his name came from the same source as produced Latin deus ‘god’, from which English gets deity). When the Germanic peoples took over the Roman system of naming the days of the week after the gods, they replaced the term for the second day of the week, diēs Martis ‘day of Mars, the war-god’ (source of French Mardi ‘Tuesday’) with ‘Tiu’s day’ – hence Tuesday. The Norse version of the god’s name appears in Swedish tisdag and Danish tirsdag.
=> deity - Tuesday (n.)
- third day of the week, Old English tiwesdæg, from Tiwes, genitive of Tiw "Tiu," from Proto-Germanic *Tiwaz "god of the sky," the original supreme deity of ancient Germanic mythology, differentiated specifically as Tiu, ancient Germanic god of war, from PIE *deiwos "god," from root *dyeu- "to shine" (see diurnal). Compare Old Frisian tiesdei, Old Norse tysdagr, Swedish tisdag, Old High German ziestag.
The day name (second element dæg, see day) is a translation of Latin dies Martis (source of Italian martedi, French Mardi) "Day of Mars," from the Roman god of war, who was identified with Germanic Tiw (though etymologically Tiw is related to Zeus), itself a loan-translation of Greek Areos hemera. In cognate German Dienstag and Dutch Dinsdag, the first element would appear to be Germanic ding, þing "public assembly," but it is now thought to be from Thinxus, one of the names of the war-god in Latin inscriptions.

Tuesday（星期二）：北欧神话的战神提尔
在北欧神话中，战神被称为提尔（Tyr），是北欧神话中主要神祗之一，是勇气和战争的象征，是主神奥丁的儿子，相当于罗马神话中的Mars。
战神提尔的一只胳臂被狼精芬里厄咬断，因此只有一只胳臂。据说诸神以试验力气为由，想用魔法锁链缚住芬里厄。芬里厄要求一位神将胳臂放在他嘴里。勇敢的提尔挺身而出，把自己的胳臂放在芬里厄的嘴里。芬里厄发现上当后就愤怒地咬断了提尔的胳臂。
战神提尔在好战的北欧人中得到极高的崇拜，甚至仅次于主神奥丁。北欧的勇士常常在打仗前向提尔祈祷。英语中的星期二就是以战神命名的。英语单词Tuesday来自古英语单词Tiwesdaeg，字面意思就是Tyr’s day（提尔之日）。
