Dutch
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle Dutch heden, also hude, huden, from Old Dutch hiudo, a contraction of the instrumental phrase *hiu dago (“on this day”), from Proto-West Germanic *hiu dagu, from Proto-Germanic *hinō dagō (*hiz + *dagaz). The appearance of the vowel -e- is unusual, the expected form in modern Dutch would be *huide(n), compare huidig.
Cognate with Old Saxon hiudu, hūdigu, German heute, West Frisian hjoed, Old English hēodæg.
