Best Answer

A compound adverb may refer to:

- a phrasal adverb : two or more words that function as an adverb, though they may not individually be adverbs (e.g. every time, over there)

- an adverb formed from two words (nowhere, somewhat)

- a sentence construction with two or more adverbs modifying the same word (e.g. he moved quickly and silently)
