Morphology

monthly + meeting

The meaning 'a meeting that takes place once every month' is directly and transparently derived from 'monthly' (occurring every month) modifying 'meeting' (a planned gathering). This adjective+noun compositional pattern is standard and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Monthly meeting is made from month and -ly, so it literally means a meeting 'once every month'. Imagine people marking a calendar and meeting when a month passes; that is why it means 'a meeting that takes place once every month'.
