Usage tips
Compound word
The word is clearly made up of 'Montag' (Monday) and 'Abend' (evening). This pattern is very common and also works with all other weekdays and times of day, such as 'Dienstagvormittag' (Tuesday morning) or 'Sonntagnachmittag' (Sunday afternoon).
EXAMPLE
Der Montagabend ist oft der ruhigste Abend der Woche.
Monday evening is often the quietest evening of the week.
Fixed preposition
To express a specific point in time, 'Montagabend' (Monday evening) is almost always used with the preposition 'am'. The question for this is 'Wann?' (When?).
EXAMPLE

On Monday evening, we're meeting for dinner.
Repeated action
For regular, repeated actions, there is the lowercase form 'montagabends'. The 's' at the end signals repetition and means 'every Monday evening.'
