Tags: Wednesday, Week, Day, Translaton, Language, Foreign
Wednesday is considered either the third or the fourth day of the week, between Tuesday and Thursday.
The name comes from the Middle English Wednes dei, which is from Old English Wodnes dæg, meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons in England until about the 7th century.
The day in the middle of each week is Wednesday.
An idiom for Wednesday is "hump day", a reference to making it through to the middle of the work week as getting "over the hump."
