Morphology

trimonthly = monthly (transparent) = tri + month + ly

The adjective is clearly formed by adding tri- to 'monthly' to indicate a three-month period; learners can derive 'lasting/occurring over three months' from the parts.

Etymology

Trimonthly comes from tri- ('three') and monthly ('month'), so it means something that lasts for 'three months' or happens 'every three months'.
