What it means

literally, sevened, i.e. a week (specifically, of years)

How the KJV renders it

seven, week

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

“seven”

also renders heptá (G2033), ʻâsâr (H6240), shibʻâh (H7655), shibʻânâh (H7658)

“week”

also renders sábbaton (G4521)
