the day of the week that is the last day before the next week begins

Sunday (noun) means: the day of the week that is the last day before the next week begins. It emerges from days, week, last, next: the day and the week together order this day as the final part before a new week begins. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 11, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
