Many languages have a term for "half a lunar month" but English doesn't (or doesn't any more). I have Welsh heritage though and, to them, the literal definition of week is eight days and while we have a fortnight in Engand (fourteen days), they have pythefnos which literally means fifteen days. Nos is day and pythef is a contraction of pymtheg (which means fifteen). In the same way, fortnight is a contraction of fourteenth-night.

NehaAdlakha: It basically means a fortnight
syedkamran2913: too long

Answer:Fortnight

Explanation:

Fortnight comes from the Middle English fourtenight, which is contracted from the Old English fēowertēne niht. We suspect you don't need to be a time-traveling Anglo-Saxon to see how fēowertēne niht means fourteen nights.
