week
Half a fortnight
The noun week arose to designate the seven-day cycle in which humans arbitrarily chose to subdivide time.
Week may designate a calendar week, beginning on Sunday or Monday, or any consecutive period of seven days.
In context, week is used synonymously with work week, where the understanding is that any event referred to will take place on a regular workday: Let’s have a meeting next week.
Week has spawned the adjective and adverb weekly.
