Learn English – Adjective of “in a genius way”

adjectivesword-request

Is there any English adverb to represent something as being genius?

Something like:

The goalkeeper avoided the goal geniusly.

(I know geniusly is not an actual word, it's just to illustrate!)

Best Answer

Not really, because there's no adjective to build it on — genial, -ly has been preempted by a different meaning. You have to rewrite your sentence so you can use genius as an attributive:

The goalie made a genius move to save the point.

By the way, we would not say avoid the goal, but prevent the goal. One avoids an object or action, refrains from doing something oneself, one prevents someone else's action.
