Etymology

From Middle High German hiute, from Old High German hiutu, a contraction of earlier *hiu tagu, from Proto-West Germanic *hiu dagu, from Proto-Germanic *hinō dagō (“on this day”, from *hiz + *dagaz). Cognate with Old English hēodæġ (“today”) and Dutch heden (“today”). Compare German heuer from hiu (“in this”) + jāru (“year”).
