Isnt adulting an incorrect term to use in the english language? Isnt it called Adultery?

Question

Update:

For example I could say

I am the prime example of adulting

Or

I am the prime example of adultery

Answer 1

Adulting means acting like an adult like paying your bills

Answer 2

"Adulting" is not a real word but it means "acting like an adult." It does not mean adultery.

Answer 3

No. It is different. Ask a police officer because that is not my job.

Answer 4

Adultery is when a person in marriage has sex with somebody outside of his marriage.

Fornication is what a person who is not married has sex

Answer 5

Yes. It's only a noun, not a verb or adjective. So you would say "commit adultery."

Answer 6

I think you're trolling, but just in case you're not:

'Adulting' is a newish word coined to describe the state or action of 'being an adult'

while'adultery' refers to sexual relations between a couple, of whom at least one is married to someone else.

Answer 7

i dont think adulting is a word, but adultery is a word

Answer 8

NOt a good idea tat all

Answer 9

I'm pretty sure the word was made the way it is to avoid some obvious confusion 😂
