<upd_detl>Not really a suffix. It's the 月 part of the month name plus 中. (Also, げつちゅう is wrong.)
This may have been added because we also have 月中/つきなか, but I don't think it's a valid entry.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Not a suffix. Sense 1 is the same as 月中/つきなか. This may be the source of the entry.
I suspect 月中/げっちゅう is rather archaic and obscure,</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>Daijirin: げっ-ちゅう [0] 【月中】
（１）月のなか。
（２）月光の下。月下。
（３）その月のうち。月内。
Nikk has much the same.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>I don't think that's the source. The meaning doesn't match and neither reading is げっちゅう. It's definitely the 月中 in 1月中, 2月中, 3月中, etc., hence n-suf.
I don't think げっちゅう is needed either. It's only in daijr and nikk. Likely obscure and/or archaic, as you said.</upd_detl>
