Where does the word monthly come from?

The word "monthly" comes from the Old English word "mōnaþlīce," a combination of "mōnaþ" (meaning "month") and "-līce" (meaning "like" or "pertaining to"). The word "month" itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "mǣnōþ," which ultimately comes from the Proto-Indo-European word "mēnsis," meaning "moon." This connection highlights the historical link between the length of a month and the lunar cycle. Therefore, "monthly" literally means "pertaining to a month" or "occurring every month."
