the sport was so popular that when outsiders used to ask if they had missed anything good , villagers would shout, Yes toad day!
I will tell you the day after tomorrow which never comes
today
O.E. todæge, to dæge "on (the) day," from to "at, on" (see to) + dæge, dative of dæg "day."
Generally written as two words until 16c., after which it usually was written to-day until early 20c.
Similar constructions exist in other Gmc. languages (cf. Du. van daag "from-day," Dan., Swed. i dag "in day"). Ger. heute is from O.H.G. hiutu, from P.Gmc. *hiu tagu "on (this) day," with first element from PIE pronomial stem *ki-, represented by L. cis "on this side."
