From Old Norse frjádagr, from Proto-Germanic *Frijjōz dagaz (“day of Frigg”).
Noun
frjádagur m (genitive singular frjádags, nominative plural frjádagar)

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