the first day of the week following the previous day in time

Monday (noun) means: the first day of the week following the previous day in time. It emerges from days, week, first, previous: the day is ordered in time by following the prior day and marking the start of a repeating weekly cycle. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
