What does vikendom literally mean, and why isn’t it something like “za vikend”?

Vikendom literally means “on weekends / at weekends / during weekends” and talks about something that happens regularly on weekends.

Grammatically:

• vikendom is the instrumental singular of vikend used in a temporal meaning: “(in) time of weekend” → “on weekends”.
• It’s a very common, idiomatic way to express a habitual action that happens on weekends.

You can also say:

• Za vikend češće šetamo u parku. – “We walk in the park more often at the weekend.”
  • This tends to refer more to a particular or upcoming weekend, or to the weekend time frame more concretely, not so much to all weekends in general.

So:

• Vikendom = in general, as a routine: on weekends, usually.
• Za vikend = more specific weekend time, often this or that weekend.
