'Сегодня' (segodnya) is a compound of 'с' (s, meaning 'with') and 'не́дня' (nednya, meaning 'day'), historically referring to the current day. The form has shifted from older Slavic roots over time.
'Сегодня' is used broadly in everyday conversation and writing, fit for both formal and informal contexts, indicating the present day and often used in news or scheduled contexts.
