Mittwoch

Etymology
From, from , calqued on (whence 🇨🇬). Equivalent to 🇰🇲, becoming a masculine in Early Modern German after the other weekdays. Compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Originally meaning the middle between Sunday and Saturday, now often reinterpreted as the middle of the working week.

The original West Germanic word for Wednesday,, had already been displaced in Old High German times. It is only attested in regional Middle High German as with g- for w- through dissimilation (likely reinforced by reinterpretation as “good day”). This survived until recently in 🇨🇬. See for more.
