Morphology

hebdomadary = hebdomad (opaque) = hebdomad + ary

Formed from the rare base 'hebdomad' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ary'; because the base is obscure to typical learners, the meaning 'weekly' is not inferable for average B1 users.

Etymology

The word hebdomadary comes from an old Greek word hebdomad meaning 'seven' or 'a group of seven'. So a hebdomadary event happens every seven days, in other words it is 'weekly'.
