Morphology

nightly = night (transparent) = night + ly

The word 'nightly' is transparently formed by adding the suffix '-ly' to 'night', indicating something that occurs every night.

Etymology

The word nightly is made from night and the ending -ly. Night means 'the dark time after sunset' and -ly turns it into a time word like daily, so nightly means 'happening every night'.
