weekbeginning

Saturday is the weekend, and Sunday is the weekbeginning.

If Sunday is the first day of the week, why do we say it is part of the weekend?

If we have a closed compound, "weekend", why don't we have a closed compound, "weekbeginning"?

When you say goodbye to your coworkers on Friday afternoon you should say, "Have a nice weekend, and a good weekbeginning."

It's 5:00 on Friday afternoon and there is a cacophony in the office of coworkers bidding each other to have a nice weekend and a good weekbeginning.

Kids, get in the car. We're going to Wally World! While we're there we will: get our tires rotated, change the oil in the van, get our eyes checked, get hair cuts, get our portraits taken, fill our prescriptions, renew our fishing license, get groceries, buy new bicycles, TV and blue ray, get party decorations, have lunch, go to the bank, apply for a job . . . .
