a petaly feminine heart

[GoodTaste]

OneLook doesn't have the word "petaly". What does it mean? Does it mean "in a manner that flowers spread their petals"?

"Smelling like flower petals".

"Smelling like flower petals".

Is it an adv., or adj.?

Is it an adv., or adj.?

What part of speech is the word it modifies?

By the way, as far as I know, the ad's copywriter invented the word. I should have said it means "similar to or evoking the nature of flower petals". We can assume the writer is referring to the aroma, but they might have the texture in mind. It doesn't really matter; it's just meant to sound pleasant.

I think it's an adverb.

Is it an [STRIKE]adv.,[/STRIKE] adverb or an [STRIKE]adj.[/STRIKE] adjective?

The abbreviations "adv" and "adj" are OK in dictionaries where space is limited but, on the forum, please use complete words.

It should more logically be spelt petally (petal + ly).

Would it be wrong to say 'Is it an adverb or adjective'?

No, but in writing the question mark should go inside the quotation marks.
