Boundary problems, passage=Economics is a messy discipline : too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month.}}

Adjective
(en adjective)- Moreover, this relationship is a productive one, in the sense that when new Adjectives are created (e.g. ginormous'' concocted out of ''gigantic'' and ''enormous''), then the corresponding Adverb form (in this case ''ginormously'') can also be used. And in those exceptional cases where Adverbs do not end in ''-ly'', they generally have the same form as the corresponding Adjective, as with ''hard'', ''fast , etc.
