/ˈwikwərk/

Forms: see week n. and work n.; also early Middle English wice worc.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: week n., work n.

Etymology: < week n. + work n. Compare Old Saxon wēkawerk payment made in lieu of undertaking week-work (apparently only attested in the records of Werden Abbey). Compare post-classical Latin opus septimane (12th cent in a passage corresponding to quot. lOE), septimanalis operatio (12th cent. in the same source), probably after English.The form wice worc in quot. c1155 could alternatively be interpreted as showing a collocation with the (strong feminine) genitive of wicu week n., as opposed to a true compound; the usual combining form in Old English is wic- (compare quot. lOE).

historical in later use.
