Why is the French word for noon ""midi"" instead of ""mijour""?.

French

Answer:

“Midi” etymologically comes from Old French. Hence why it seems to be out of place in Modern French.

Mi = half/middle

Di = day

“Mijour” sounds very odd.

We have, on the other hand, the word “mi-journée”, which means the same thing but cannot be used interchangeably with “midi”. The former is used to refer to a vague notion of “halfway through the day”, whilst the latter exclusively refers to a specific time : 12 o'clock.
