No, thoroughly is an adverb. It modifies verbs or adjectives.

For example, "thoroughly wash your hands" uses thoroughlyto modify the verb wash. And "it was thoroughly enjoyable" uses thoroughly to modify the adjective enjoyable.

Many adverbs have an -ly ending, so that is one clue that a word might be an adverb.
