We're gradually researching the background of the names of the days of the week.
The name comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the equivalent of the Roman war god Mars, says wikipedia.
Thus we see a similarity between Tues and Thurs, Thor's Day.
And a contrast with Friday, yes?
