domingo

Sunday

noun doh-MEEN-goh Common
Time Days of the Week

Origin: From Latin Dominica dies ('the Lord's day').

Usage Note

Domingo is written lowercase in Spanish, like all days of the week, whereas English capitalises them. It derives from the Latin for 'Lord's day'. In Spanish-speaking countries Sunday is traditionally the last day of the week on calendars, unlike the US convention of placing it first.
