semiweekly

/sˈɛmɪwˌikli/ adj B1

happening twice a week

Word Origin Semiweekly means twice a week, but the semi- prefix literally means 'half' — so it's 'half-weekly', occurring every half-week. The same semi- appears in semicircle (half circle) and semicolon (half colon, half comma). It's often confused with biweekly, which can mean either twice a week or every two weeks, but semiweekly is unambiguous: it's twice a week, splitting the week in half.
