óðinsdagur

Icelandic

From Old Norse óðinsdagr, from Óðinn (“Odin”) and dagr (“day”).

óðinsdagur m (genitive singular óðinsdags, nominative plural óðinsdagar)

This word was replaced during Iceland's shift to Christianity by miðvikudagur, which means simply "mid-week day". It is now considered archaic, but may be used jocularly or by some revivalists.
