to-day (archaic)

Etymology
From Middle English < Old English todæge|t�dæge, t� dæge (on [the] day), made from t� (at, on) + dæge (the dative of dæg, "day").
The first component (to-) is from Middle English < Old English t� (towards, for the purpose of) < West Germanic *to < Proto-Indo-European pronominal base *do- (to, toward, upward).
The second component (-day) is from Middle English < Old English dæg < Proto-Germanic *dagaz < Proto-Indo-European *dhegh- (to burn). It is not related to Latin dies (which is from PIE base *dyeu- [to shine]), but rather to Sanskrit d�has (heat), which came from PIE *dhegh- (to burn).
Thus, today and day are not related to Spanish día, but to favor and fever.
