+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * /ˈtɛːklɪç/, /ˈteːklɪç/^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''täglich''' (strong nominative masculine singular täglicher, not comparable)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|gmh|tagelich]] (also [[m|gmh|tegelich]]), [[inh|goh|tagalīh]] (also [[m|goh|tagolīh]]).^(Kluge 2011|904)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Wiktionary) Wiktionary and Pfeifer treat it as [[af|de|Tag|-lich]],^(Wiktionary)^(Pfeifer 1993) but Kluge thinks it is probably not a simple derivative, rather a shortening of the phrase [[m|goh|allero tago gihwilīh|t=each one of all days]], as in [[männiglich]].^(Kluge 2011|904) Old English had [[m|ang|dæġlīċ]], and [[en|daily]] is its English cognate.^(Adelung 1793)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ The noun goes back to [[gem-pro|*dagaz|t=day]], also in [[got|𐌳𐌰𐌲𐍃|tr=dags]], [[non|dagr]] and [[ang|dæg]].^(Kluge 2011|904)^(Kroonen 2013) Its further origin is uncertain: Kluge and Duden connect it with [[ine-pro|*dʰegʷʰ-|t=to burn]] (as in [[lt|degti|alt=dègti]] and [[m|lt|dagas|alt=dãgas|t=summer heat]]), which would make the day the hot, bright part of the 24 hours, while Pfeifer prefers to compare a Sanskrit word for “day”, with the initial dental perhaps taken from the “burning” word.^(Kluge 2011|904)^(Duden 7 2007)^(Pfeifer 1993)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Old High German ''tagalīh'' is first recorded in glosses of about 765, and then in the Benedictine Rule, the Tatian, Otfrid and Notker, meaning “daily”.^(Köbler AHD)^(Schützeichel 2012|328)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Middle High German used it of what happens every day, as in Hartmann's ''Iwein'' (''mit tägelîcher arbeit'', “with daily toil”), and of a fever that returns every day;^(DWB|21, 79) ''tägliche Sünden'' were small sins that no one can avoid, as Berthold of Regensburg preached.^(DWB|21, 79) From “happening every day” came “ordinary, commonplace”, as opposed to the extraordinary, in Luther and Goethe.^(DWB|21, 79) A third sense is “meant for everyday use”: the Lord's Prayer asks for ''unser teglich brot'', a chasuble of 1394 was the “daily” one, and a 1631 inventory sets daily napkins against Sunday ones.^(DWB|21, 79) Early New High German also used it for “by day” and “lasting one day”.^(FWB)

+

+ The reinforced [[tagtäglich]] “day in, day out” appears in the 18th century according to Kluge, while Pfeifer already cites a Middle High German adverb ''tactaglich''.^(Kluge 2011|904)^(Pfeifer 1993) Banking calls money lent from day to day ''tägliches Geld''.^(Duden GWDS 1999)

+
