Etymology: "Adverbialises" is the third-person singular present form of "adverbialise", which means to turn a word or phrase into an adverb, or to use something in the manner of an adverb. The verb is built from "adverbial", the adjective meaning of or relating to an adverb, with the English verb-forming suffix "-ise" (also spelled "-ize") added to it. "Adverbial" itself comes from Late Latin "adverbialis", formed from "adverbium", the Latin word for adverb, which combines "ad-" with "verbum", meaning "word" or "verb."
