semimonthly

Every two weeks

Semimonthly means occurring or published twice a month: a semimonthly paycheck, semimonthly meetings.

The word is often confused with bimonthly, which can mean either twice a month or every two months—semimonthly avoids that ambiguity.

As a noun, a semimonthly is a publication issued twice monthly.
