Turning い-Adjectives into Adverbs


I recently listened to a song named [アザトカワイイ](https://youtu.be/m-FRFhvM1EA)
and I started asking myself about the grammar behind this one simple phrase.

According to this
[site](https://hallyuplus.net/threads/hinatazaka46-%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B6%E3%83%88%E3%82%AB%E3%83%AF%E3%82%A4%E3%82%A4-azato-
kawaii.35159/), the title means "Cunningly Cute" which makes sense because
cunning in Japanese is あざとい, an い-Adjective.

But then I learned that you actually take the stem and add く to the adjective
to make an い-Adjective into an Adverb.

I'm really confused right now **LMAO** Every input will be appreciated! Thanks
in advance! ^~^




It's a compound word from the stem of あざとい combined with かわいい, in other words,
one word.

Edit: It means to be cute in a manner that you boldly show yourself that way.
