daags

Daags is a Dutch-language term that appears primarily in historical or regional contexts. In standard modern Dutch, the common word for describing something that occurs every day is dagelijks; daags itself is now largely obsolete and is rarely used outside linguistic or philological discussion.

Etymology and forms: Daags is historically derived from dag meaning “day,” with the suffix -s forming an adverbial or adjectival modifier. In older or regional varieties of Dutch, daags functioned as a temporal adverb indicating a near-term time frame, roughly in the sense of “in a few days” or “soon,” though the exact meaning varied by dialect and period.

Usage: Due to its archaic status, daags typically appears in corpus lines, glosses, or discussions on the evolution of Dutch adverbs. In modern standard Dutch, its usage is discouraged in formal writing. In name or label contexts, it could theoretically appear as a proper noun, but there is no widely recognized place or organization known by that name in standard references.
