Fortnightly is a word that is obtained from the word fortnight. The word fortnight has its origin in Old English. It is taken from the word fēowertēne and niht. This word fēowertēne means fourteen and the word niht means night. Later, it was adapted by the Middle English as fourtenight which is the alteration of fourtene night. 'Fourtene night' means fourteen nights.
