===Alternative forms===
* [[to-day]] {{qualifier|archaic}}

===Etymology===
From {{etyl|enm}} < {{etyl|ang}} {{term|sc=unicode|todæge|tōdæge|lang=ang}}, {{term||tō dæge||on [the] day}}, made from {{term||tō||at, on}} + {{term||dæge}}, the dative of {{term|dæg|sc=unicode|lang=ang||day}}.
* The first component (to-) is from {{etyl|enm}} < {{etyl|ang}} {{term|tō||towards, for the purpose of|lang=ang}} < West Germanic *{{term||to}} < {{proto|Indo-European|do-|to, toward, upward}}.
* The second component (-day) is from Middle English < Old English {{term|dæg|lang=ang|sc=unicode}} < {{proto|Germanic|dagaz}} < {{proto|Indo-European|dʰegʰ-|to burn}}. It is not related to Latin {{term|dies|lang=la}} (which is from [[Proto-Indo-European]] base {{proto|Indo-European|dyeu-|to shine|title=}}), but rather to {{etyl|sa}} {{term|sc=Deva|दाह|tr=dāha||heat|lang=sa}}, which came from {{proto|Indo-European|dʰegʰ-|to burn|sc=unicode}}.
* Thus, '''today''' and '''day''' are not related to Spanish {{term|día|lang=es}}, but to {{term|favor|lang=es}} and {{term|fever|lang=es}}.
