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?

yeah, i think we have generally developed to distinct uses for the root word “bi” like, bisect means to cut in two. that’s where my head goes when i hear bi-weekly. a bisected week. to be honest, outside of describing periods of time and bi sexuals i can’t think of other times that “bi” means double an amount and not a split amount.
You mean like bicycle? where they cut bikes in half
i didn’t say there weren’t any or that I’m very smart 😅 I’ve thought of a few others since then too.
