| Feb 10, 2015 at 18:12 | comment | added | A E | @Haobin, The OED (which is the authoritative dictionary for British English) has main entry "Thievishly, adv.: In a thievish manner; as a thief; furtively, by stealth." "thievishly, adv." OED Online. Oxford University Press, December 2014. Web. 10 February 2015. | |

| Feb 10, 2015 at 17:08 | comment | added | Set Big O | @Haobin I don't have 4-5 dictionaries laying around. I can do a web search, but I guess I don't know what counts as a "standard" dictionary, so I can only guess. More, more, and more examples can be found. | |

| Feb 10, 2015 at 16:55 | comment | added | KSmarts | @Haobin Merriam-Webster has "heavyhearted" without a hyphen. And while "thievish" is the main entry, it also contains the adverbial form "thievishly". | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 16:55 | comment | added | Set Big O | "Thievishly" does appear in dictionaries, just not as a main entry. That's like ruling out plurals or tenses. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 16:41 | comment | added | Haobin | "heavyweight" is correct, but a dictionary would contain "thievish" instead of "thievishly" and "heavy-hearted" instead of heavyhearted. | |
