Morphology

monthly = monthly (semi-transparent) = month + ly

The noun is a regular conversion from the adjective 'monthly', which itself is transparently built from 'month' + '-ly'.

Etymology

Monthly as a noun comes from the adjective monthly, just like weekly can mean a paper that comes every week. So, a monthly is a magazine that appears 'once every month'.
