overmorgen

Language: Dutch · [ˌoːvərˈmɔrɣən] · Pronunciation: OH-ver-MOR-khen

Meaning

the day after tomorrow — one word, no 'after' required

The story

English had this word: overmorrow, printed in a 1535 Bible translation and then quietly abandoned, along with 'ereyesterday' for the day before yesterday. Dutch never dropped its version, and German still says übermorgen. You lost overmorrow; tonight you can have it back.

The four rounds

Which language is it from?: Dutch
What does it literally say?: Over-tomorrow
Where would you hear it?: A Dutch office, planning the week
What does it mean?: The day after tomorrow

How it went
