Hey Marina, how are you?

I was in a university lecture the other day and we watched a video, in which a British man used the word “Fortnight”. I know what this means, but we rarely use it in America. Where did this word come from? I can’t make any logical connection between the word and its meaning, can you?

Thanks and stay hot (for words).

    Hi Marina :grin:

    Would you please tell us the origin of the term “Fortnight”?
    It’s uses more frequently in Great Britain, but I still hear it from time to time in the States. I can’t see the connection between the word and its meaning.

    Thanks!
