Etymology 1
Sino-Vietnamese word from 旬 (“ten-day period”).

Usage notes
As the Gregorian calendar has displaced the Vietnamese lunisolar calendar as a civil calendar, this word has become more closely associated with the former's seven-day week than the latter's ten-day week. Tuần lễ is often used for clarity or emphasis.
