adolescently

/ˌædəˈɫɛsəntli/ adv

In an adolescent manner; like a teenager.

Word Origin Adolescent comes from Latin adolescere 'to grow up,' from ad- 'to' and alere 'to nourish' — so an adolescent is literally 'one who is growing up.' Adolescently is the adverb. The same root gives us adult (grown), coalesce (grow together), and aliment (nourishment). The idea of growing is central.
