Morphology

weekly = week (transparent) = week + ly

Standard adjective formation: 'week' + '-ly' yields 'weekly' meaning 'occurring every week'.

Etymology

Weekly comes from week ('seven days') plus the ending -ly, which tells us how often something happens. So weekly as an adjective means 'happening once every week'.
