Etymology
Vineri descends from the Latin phrase dies Veneris, the day of Venus. Romanian dropped the word for day and kept only the genitive form of the goddess's name, then added the ending common to the other weekday names. The same Latin source gave French vendredi, Italian venerdì, and Spanish viernes.
