As far as I understand it has two meanings, twice a week or every other week
bi- is twice a week. semi- is every other week, but most everyone says bi-monthly.
2 weeks. Semi-weekly is twice a week.
Biweekly doesn't mean twice a week because bi means two, not twice.
twice a week OR every other week.
2 x per week is the usual definition; however it also can mean alternating weeks.

What does it mean? I should be getting paid 4x as often. I am calling my lawyer.
it means you swing both ways every week.
It means both biceps are week, brah.
It means fortnightly, naturally
Every other week. Compare to "semi-" if you're uncertain. Of course semi means less than a whole, like a semi-circle, and it also means in one half of the interval like "semi-weekly". Bi refers to the other side, once every two weeks.
That would be the fēowertyne niht in Olde English.

It's how I say goodbye to my rather feeble cousin Lee.
