friday

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'payday' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a servant?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for friday that I've seen before include "Day named after a Norse goddess" , "Crusoe's Man (Defoe)" , "The 13th is considered unlucky" , "It's payday for some" , "Day for eating fish?" .)
