Etymology

The word 'week' originated from the Old English word 'wice', meaning 'a turning, a change'. Over time, the word evolved to refer to a period of seven days. The addition of 'per week' as a phrase to indicate frequency or rate of occurrence became popular in the English language in the 19th century.
