Morphology

monthly = month (transparent) = month + ly

Direct and regular derivation from 'month' plus the adjective/adverb-forming suffix '-ly', so the temporal meaning is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Monthly comes from month, a word linked to the moon because months follow the moon's changes, and the ending -ly which shows 'every' or 'once in'. So, monthly means 'happening once every month'.
