Similar case in point: "bimonthly" means "twice a month." That makes sense.

But the definition for "bi-weekly" does not make sense.

What do you think?

I'm wondering the same thing about Bible. Does it mean twice per Ble or every other Ble?

No. It means Ble likes both girls and boys.

Two bles.

The old and new testament together are two, thus "Bible".

Before the new testament they just carried around a ble.

I know you're making a joke, but on the off chance someone thinks you might be onto something: it's from biblio, or book.

Is it twice per Blio or every other Blio, though?

Nonono it's a documentary about Michael BuBle and his lesser known twin, Bubba BuBle
