> Right. WeekEND. It's the end of the week.

This only works in English though. The rest of us use the word "weekend" as a block.

It also works in German, Dutch, and presumably lots of other languages. In which ones does it not work?

In French. "End of week" would be "fin de semaine" but we don’t say that, we say "weekend". Which is understood as these two days when most people don’t work.

If anything, "fin de semaine" would refer to the last working days before the weekend.
