Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week."

Similar case in point: "bimonthly" means "twice a month." That makes sense.
But the definition for "bi-weekly" does not make sense.
What do you think?

It means both, twice a week and every two weeks. It's confusing but what part of english isnt?
The part doesn’t use gendered language as a main component, lol. But otherwise yeah, it’s tricky haha.
