Missing words in English

For a while I ponder on some words that I have not been able to find. I always wondered why, since English is so huge compared to my native Danish where we DO have the following two words:

  1. a word for a 24 hour period. I found the Latin one: Nychthemeron
  2. the adjective of solidarity - so we have sympathetic but not solidaric - can anyone tell me why we can be sympathetic to a cause but have to show solidarity?
