When in the right context of the sentence, the noun 'wise' can be added to other nouns to form a compound noun; many already exist:

  • edgewise
  • end-wise
  • lengthwise
  • money-wise
  • time-wise
  • weather-wise

Then there's the well known line from the movie "The Apartment", "That's the way it crumbles, cookie wise."
