Morphology

yearly = yearly (semi-transparent) = year + ly

The noun is a converted use of the adjective 'yearly', which is itself transparently built from 'year' + '-ly', but the publication sense is a specialized nominal use.

Etymology

Yearly as a noun comes from the same parts, year + -ly, and became a name for a book or report that is published 'once every year'. So, a yearly is like a yearbook or an annual that collects the important events or information of the year.
