—Usage note

The suffix -wise  is old in the language in adverbs referring to manner, direction, etc.: crosswise; lengthwise.  Coinages like marketwise, saleswise,  and weatherwise  are often criticized, perhaps because of their association with the media: Otherwise—or moneywise, as they were already saying in the motion-picture industry—Hollywood was at the crest of its supercolossal glory.  This suffix should not be confused with the adjective wise 1 , which appears in such compound words as streetwise  and worldly-wise.
