The answer wasweek

This puzzle's semantic breakdown

"week" is a clustering word this round. A top-10 mean of 0.69 means it's surrounded by close synonyms — "month", "weeks", "day" being the tightest — so landing on the right direction pays off immediately.

Similarity decays from a leading 0.821 to 0.39 at rank 100, a span of 0.431 — a steep slope. This word gives no consolation points for "close-ish": you're either near or far.

One easily-missed direction: "fortnight" scores 0.685 and ranks high, yet it isn't on the same path as "month". Keep guessing the obvious synonyms and you'll skip past it — and these "doesn't-look-close-but-is" words often crack the puzzle.
