Picture a calendar with some days marked for work and some left free. A workday is one of the marked ones. Then look closer at a single marked day: only part of it is actually spent working, from the moment you start to the moment you stop. The word can point at the whole marked day, or at the working block inside it — and the sentence around it tells you which.
From the word’s history
From Old English weorcdaeg, literally work plus day; both parts are still visible in the modern spelling.
這個字可以追到古英語 weorcdæġ，就是 work 加 day。兩個部分到今天都還看得出來，所以意思很透明：跟工作綁在一起的那一天。
