Ask question asked 9 years, 6 months ago modified 8 years, 3 months ago What do lengths of time with the bi prefix mean I have understood bicentennial as once every two hundred years, but biannual as meaning twice a year Do biweekly and bimonthly mean twice a week. Hourly, daily, monthly, weekly, and yearly suggest a consistent approach to creating adverbial forms of time measurements, but the form breaks down both in smaller time units (secondly, minutely—perhaps because of the danger of confusion with other meanings of those words) and in larger ones (decadely, centurily. My guess it there might be one that i don't know of.
What's the generic word for weekly/monthly etc Ask question asked 8 years, 3 months ago modified 8 years, 3 months ago I have this list of choices Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, once the last one once is used to indicate thing that occurs only one time I wanted to keep up with pattern of the first four wo. 1 why there are two different meanings for “triweekly”
Is there another word to indicate a period of exactly 3 weeks And for the other meaning (three times a week) The problem with trying to sound clever by coining something from roots and prefixes is that the people who grok quadriweekly or quadweekly quickly and intuitively will also understand it's kinda off, since week is germanic I am looking for a word which would apply to the groupings of periods of time, for example
