- 1為期一週的、長達一週的
Lasting a whole week. It goes in front of a noun, not after a verb: a weeklong holiday, a weeklong strike, a weeklong festival, weeklong talks. You would not say "the strike was weeklong" — for that you say "the strike lasted a week". It belongs to a small family built the same way: daylong, monthlong, yearlong, hourlong, lifelong. American writing usually joins it up (weeklong); British writing often it (week-long), and both are correct. The word does real work in news writing, where "a weeklong search" is shorter and tidier than "a search that went on for a week". Note it means the event filled the week, not that it happened once a week — that is "weekly", a completely different word.
組成week + -long. The -long ending means "lasting for that whole stretch of time", and it attaches straight onto a time word. week traces back through Old English wice to a Proto-Indo-European root *weyk- (to turn or change) — a week is a turn of the cycle; long traces through Old English lang from *dlongʰos.
