Explanation and Etymology - (隔週) kakushuu
隔週 is a Japanese word composed of two kanji characters: 隔 (kaku) meaning "alternate" or "interleave", and 週 (shuu) meaning "week". Therefore, the meaning of 隔週 is "alternate week" or "every other week". It is a commonly used expression to indicate the frequency of an event that occurs every two weeks, such as a meeting or a class. The etymology of the word goes back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when the lunar calendar system was still used in Japan. At that time, the word 隔月 (kakgetsu), meaning "alternate month", was used to indicate the same frequency as 隔週. Over time, the word 隔週 began to be used more frequently than 隔月, especially after the adoption of the western solar calendar in Japan in 1873.How to Write in Japanese - (隔週) kakushuu
