Meaning of vocabulary <b>weekly</b></b>

Origin of the word weekly

The word "weekly" has roots in Old English, stemming from the words "wēce" meaning "week" and "-lic" meaning "like" or "pertaining to". Therefore, "weekly" literally means "pertaining to a week". The word "week" itself comes from the Old English "wīcu", which was influenced by the Germanic word "wīka", meaning "a turn" or "interval". This concept of a "turn" likely references the ancient Roman custom of dividing the lunar cycle into seven-day periods.
