Etymology
/mokueubi/ > /mokujoːbi/.
Compound of 木曜 (mokuyō, “Jupiter (the planet)”, in reference also to the day for that planet, as originally imported from Chinese astrology in the Heian period) + 日 (hi, “day”).[1][2][3]
The compound form suffixed with 日 (hi, “day”) appears in common use from the Meiji period with the promulgation of the Gregorian calendar.
