Origin and Evolution of week

First Known Use: 1250 year
Language of Origin: Old English
Story behind the word: The word 'week' originated from the Old English word 'wice' or 'wīc', which was derived from the Proto-Germanic word 'wikō' meaning 'change, exchange'.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'week' evolved to specifically refer to a period of seven days, likely due to the seven-day cycle of the Roman calendar and the influence of Christianity.
