> "(bound form) day of the week"
That's one way of looking at it.

Here's another point of view:

"September" is a month. It doesn't mean "day in the month of September" just because "September 3" is a day rather than a month.

Apollo is the name of an American space program. It doesn't mean "a specific mission in the Apollo program" just because "Apollo 11" was a mission rather than a program.

If a user is perplexed by the fact that 礼拜五 means "Friday" when 礼拜 is defined as "week", maybe their thinking is too rigid.
