About

The word 星期三 is formed through direct sequential composition: the first two characters 星期 mean "week", and the third character 三 is the number "three". Combined, they literally mean "week three", designating the third day of the standard seven-day week, following the convention of numbering days from Monday (星期一, "week one").
