Morphology
daily = daily (semi-transparent) = day + ly
The noun is formed by conversion from the adjective 'daily', but the newspaper sense is a conventional elliptical use rather than a fully compositional meaning.
Etymology
Daily comes from the simple word day plus the ending -ly, which together mean 'each day'. Newspapers that were published every day came to be called a daily because they appeared 'every day'.
