Origin and Evolution of biweekly

First Known Use: 1832 year

Language of Origin: English

Story behind the word: The word 'biweekly' originated from the combination of the prefix 'bi-' meaning 'two' or 'twice' and the word 'weekly' referring to something that occurs once a week.

Evolution of the word: Originally, 'biweekly' was used to mean both twice a week and once every two weeks. However, due to the ambiguity of its meaning, it has evolved to be more commonly used to mean once every two weeks in modern English.
