Words can have multiple meanings, even morphemic nouns such as quiet: it can be a noun, an adjective, or by adding -LY can be an adverb. Words such as fast can be homonym nouns, adjectives, and adverbs.

There may be no one-word syntactic adverbs, but adverbial phrases can contain non-adverbs and still function syntactically as adverbials. To use an informal idiom "on the quiet" (meaning secretly), a sentence could be "In the quiet of the night, her husband had left to meet his lover on the quiet."
