every other
Not each consecutive
Every other means alternating—skipping one each time through a sequence.
We meet every other Tuesday means every second Tuesday.
Plant seeds in every other row leaves gaps between planted rows.
The phrase can describe any pattern of one on, one off: every other day, every other house, every other bite.
