Surface Forms

killerly fun positive

Morphology

killerly + fun

The form is partially interpretable because learners can parse '-ly' as a productive affix and see 'killerly' as an intensifier modifying 'fun', allowing an inference of 'very/extremely fun'. However, 'killerly' is not a standard lexical item and 'killer' has both literal (murderer) and slang (excellent) senses, so the positive evaluative meaning and register are not fully predictable without prior exposure.

Etymology

The adjective killerly fun comes from slang where killer meant something so good or exciting it 'kills' as a playful praise. People added '-ly' to make killerly and put it before fun to show very strong enjoyment, so the phrase means 'extremely enjoyable'.
