Similar case in point: “bimonthly” means “twice a month.” That makes sense.

But the definition for “bi-weekly” does not make sense.

What do you think?

    Yeah. Bicycle - two wheels. Bisection - two sections. Yes, you are cutting a something into parts, but it’s identifying you have 2 of them after the cut. If you have 3 sections after the cutting, it’s trisected.
