Morphology
quarterly = quarterly (semi-transparent) = quarter + ly
The noun is formed by conversion from the adjective 'quarterly'; the connection is clear, but the meaning as a periodical is a conventionalized nominal use rather than a fully productive rule.
Etymology
Quarterly comes from quarter, meaning 'one of four'. A quarterly is a magazine or journal that appears each 'one of four' parts of the year, so it is published four times a year.
