monthly
UK: ˈmʌnθli | US: ˈmʌnθli
adj. occurring, done, or produced every month
adv. once a month; by the month
n. a magazine or other publication issued once a month
The word "monthly" combines "month," derived from Old English mōnath (related to the moon’s cycle, from Proto-Germanic mēnōth-), with the suffix "-ly," from Old English -līc (meaning "having the quality of"). Originally, "month" referred to the lunar cycle, but it later standardized to the calendar month. The suffix "-ly" transforms the noun into an adjective or adverb, indicating regularity (e.g., "happening every month").
