A week is a
time unit equal to
seven days.
The English word
week continues an
Old English wice, ultimately from a

Gothic wik? translating taxis "order" in
Luke 1:8.
The term "week" is sometimes expanded to refer to other time units comprising a few days. Such "weeks" of between 4 and 10 days have been used historically in various places. Intervals longer than 10 days are not usually termed "weeks" as they are closer in length to the
fortnight or the
month than to the seven-day week.
