Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week."

Similar case in point: "bimonthly" means "twice a month." That makes sense.
But the definition for "bi-weekly" does not make sense.

Bi-weekly means twice a week and every two weeks. Look it up in the dictionary of you choosing.
We should all agree it means twice a week. As we already have fortnightly to mean every two weeks.
But what about fourthnightly
Clearly, once every 4 nights
Nope. Just means 2 weeks.
