Morphology

hebdomadally = hebdomadal (opaque) = hebdomad + al + ly

Formationally regular (hebdomad + -al → hebdomadal, + -ly → hebdomadally) but the root 'hebdomad' and adjective 'hebdomadal' are rare and unfamiliar to typical B1 learners, so the adjective base is not helpful for guessing the adverb's meaning.

Etymology

The word hebdomadally comes from an old Greek word hebdomas, which means 'seven', so it simply means 'every seven days' and is another way to say 'weekly'.
