Maundy Thursday derives from the Latin mandatum or commandment. This was Jesus' message and is found in the story of the Last Supper when He humbled himself to wash the feet of His apostles prior to the traditional Passover meal or Seder.
He then commanded them to 'Love one another as I have loved you' (John 13:34)
