Morphology
The meaning 'for successive weeks' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'week' + 'after' + 'week', where the pattern 'X after X' signals repetition or continuation. This is a common, cross-linguistic construction (e.g., 'day after day') and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Week after week gives a simple image: imagine weeks lined up on a calendar, one after another, with the same thing happening in each. So, if something happens week after week, it happens 'repeatedly' or 'one week after another'.
