Morphology
The meaning 'a statement of charges issued every month' is directly and compositionally derived from 'monthly' (occurring every month) + 'bill' (a statement of charges). This straightforward adjective+noun combination follows common cross‑linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Monthly bill comes from the simple image of a written bill sent every month. It lists what you must 'pay', so the phrase means a statement of charges sent 'every month'.
