Monthly

/ˈmʌnθli/ adjective, adverb

Definition

Monthly describes something that happens once every month, such as a monthly bill or a monthly meeting. It can also refer to publications or reports that come out each month.

Etymology

Formed in English from “month” plus the suffix “-ly,” meaning “occurring every.” It keeps the original connection of “month” to the Moon’s cycle.

Kelly Says

Monthly is a reminder that our schedules still quietly follow ancient sky patterns. When you pay a monthly subscription, you’re on a rhythm that was once set by the Moon, not by software companies.
