“Even though adverbs are the most famous ly words, there are also adjectives that end in ly. These include “friendly,” “lively,” “lovely,” “silly,” and so on. When you already have one concluding ly in a word, the conventions of English bar you from adding another, even if you are craving an adverb.”
