Similar case in point: “bimonthly” means “twice a month.” That makes sense.

But the definition for “bi-weekly” does not make sense.

What do you think?

      I always thought it was 14 days… so pretty much 2 weeks.

      Then again, I don’t go checking dictionaries as a hobby.

      you might be correct in a way

        I go checking dictionaries, and TIL it’s a shortening of the olde English version of fourteen night"!
