The phrase "per week" combines the Latin-derived preposition "per," meaning 'through' or 'by means of,' with the Old English word "week," which originally came from the Latin "septimana," meaning 'seven days.' Together, they form a common temporal phrase used to express frequency or rate over a weekly period.
