but how can we know the accurate meaning of the corresponding adverb?
is there a dictionray which can give explanations for adverbs?
if an adjective has four meanings, the corresponding adverb has four

发帖数: 16778 | 3 absent
1 : not present or attending : MISSING
2 : not existing : LACKING
3 : lost in thought : not attentive
but we don't know how many meaning 'absently' has.
I don't think 'absently' has three meanings.
'absently' is close to the third meaning of 'absent', meaning 'inattentively
'.
