A designation of the first day of the week in its aspect of a day of rest and religious observance, selected with a view to avoid the secular tone and heathen origin of " Sunday," on the one hand, and any adoption of Jewish observance which might be implied from " Sabbath," on the other; and to denote the distinctively Christian origin of the selection. It is more accurate in its implications, and better corresponds with the legal character and sanctions of the day, than either " Sunday" or "Sabbath," but is less convenient, because it cannot well be compounded; it cannot be employed in such expressions as Sunday contracts, Sabbath breaking.
