Morphology

every + week

The meaning 'at weekly intervals' is directly and compositionally derived from 'every' (each) + 'week' (seven-day period), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This determiner + time-noun pattern is a common, regular grammatical construction cross-linguistically, making the expression immediately transparent.

Etymology

Every week makes a clear picture: imagine marking the same seven-day box on a calendar again and again. So every means 'each' and week is the seven-day period, which is why the phrase means 'at weekly intervals' or 'once each week'.
