Unlike English, the German language distinguishes adverbs which qualify verbs or adjectives from those which qualify whole sentences. For the latter case, many German adjectives form a special adverb form ending in -erweise, e.g. glücklicherweise "luckily", traurigerweise "sadly" (from Weise = way, manner).
Aal - eel; aalen - to stretch out; aalglatt - slippery; Aas - carrion/rotting carcass; aasen - to be wasteful; Aasgeier - vulture; ab - from; abarbeiten - to work off/slave away
