Noun

 * 1) The break in the working week, usually two days including the traditional holy or sabbath day. Thus in western countries, Saturday and Sunday.

Usage notes

 * Historically in North America and parts of Europe, people would often work on Saturday as well, or at least until noon on Saturday. Thus the “weekend” might begin at noon or later on Saturday in older texts.

To describe the soonest upcoming weekend:
 * “at the weekend”, “on the weekend”, “this weekend”, “for the weekend”
 * “on the weekend”, “this weekend”, “for the weekend” (“at the weekend” is not used)
 * “on the weekend”, “this weekend”, “for the weekend” (“at the weekend” is not used)
 * “on the weekend”, “this weekend”, “for the weekend” (“at the weekend” is not used)
