Hebdomarian

/ˌhɛbdəˈmeɪriən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or occurring during a period of seven days; connected to weekly cycles or hebdomads.

Etymology

From 'hebdomad' + '-arian' (relating to). A rare scholarly form found in theological and historical texts.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-arian' creates adjectives meaning 'believing in' or 'relating to'—so 'hebdomarian' literally means 'pertaining to the group-of-seven philosophy,' a beautifully specific word.
