Morphology
monotheistic = theistic (transparent) = mono + the + istic
The word is transparently formed by adding mono- 'one' to theistic, so the meaning follows standard compositional rules.
Etymology
The word monotheistic comes from Greek parts mono meaning 'one' and theo meaning 'god', the same roots you see in monopoly ('one owner') and theology ('study of God'). So, monotheistic means believing in only one god.
