lovedayn.

Brit.

/ˈlʌvdeɪ/, U.S.

/ˈləvˌdeɪ/

Forms: see love n.¹ and day n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: love n.¹, day n.

Etymology: < love n.¹ (probably compare love n.¹ 1d) + day n. Although attested slightly earlier, post-classical Latin dies amoris (from 1230 in British sources) and Anglo-Norman jour d'amour (13th cent.) are probably modelled on the English expression. Compare also the surname Loveday, recorded from the 13th cent. onwards (as Robert Loveday (1261), Roger Luveday (1265)).For detailed discussion see J. W. Spargo 'Chaucer's Love-Days' in Speculum 15 (1940) 36–56.

1. A day appointed for a meeting with a view to the amicable settlement of a dispute; a meeting held for this reason; (formerly also) †an agreement entered into at such a meeting (obsolete). Now historical.
