I'm pretty sure it can only be a noun (excessiveness), adverb (excessively), and an adjective (excessive). There is no verb for this word. But you CAN use the adverb to describe a verb.2nd Answer:'Exceed'.You could say that to exceed is the verb form, but the adjective excessive usually implies an inappropriate amount of something or degree of effort, as in the use of excessive force. To exceed one's expectations usually is a very positive assessment of someone's super-human efforts. So while the words look very closely related, their uses as adjective and as verb have not really identical meanings. I would tend to use 'to overdo', or ' to sate', or 'to saturate' or some other word to capture the verb sense of excessive. Perhaps exceed will be the right choice, depending on the context of its use.
