Etymology

Zorc (1985) surmises it to possibly be from Spanish domingo (“Sunday”), which was possibly mistakenly analyzed as luminggo (e.g. Luminggo na, “It's Sunday”, which could have been taken to mean “It's been a week”), from which the word is derived by removing the seeming infix -um- and early change from /d/ to /l/. However, according to Wolff (1976), it could also be from Malay minggu (“week”), which is from Portuguese domingo (“Sunday”). Wolff argues that the change in initial nasal to /l/ is also attested for Tagalog langka and Malay nangka. The shift in stress is due to having a closed penultimate syllable on earlier stages of the language. Ultimately from Late Latin diēs Dominicus (“Sunday”, literally “day of the Lord”). Doublet of Dominggo.
