Curious minds want to know? I hear the term relationship dynamic here on collar me; it's daily (overused IMO sorry to those who use it), on FL but I don't go there as much and even in my vanilla world at my job I hear it a lot (maybe those that use it also are members of CM or FL) anyways---where did that term come from? The reason I ask (other than I find the overuse of the word annoying and hope that it will go away at some point like the word awesome did after the appeal of using the word wore out) is that I can not rap my head around the way the term is being used. If one said the dynamic of our relationship IS? I would get it but using it as relationship dynamic---I simply don't get it. I mean it's sort of like saying our relationship energy is and it doesn't sound right.

So here is the definition of dynamic:
adj. also dy·nam·i·cal (-ĭ-kəl)

Of or relating to energy or to objects in motion.
Of or relating to the study of dynamics.
Characterized by continuous change, activity, or progress: a dynamic market.
Marked by intensity and vigor; forceful. See synonyms at active.
Of or relating to variation of intensity, as in musical sound.

n.

An interactive system or process, especially one involving competing or conflicting forces: "the story of a malign dynamic between white prejudice and black autonomy" (Edmund S. Morgan).
A force, especially political, social, or psychological: the main dynamic behind the revolution.



Help me out maybe I will be less annoyed.

Because it's shorter and less cumbersome to say or type.
The same reason people say my master instead of  the master to whom I belong. It's just awkward syntax to do it the long way.

And it's something I say often, because it seems to be needed. Often. lol

did you find that some place because I searched for an actual definition for the term and it did not come up. It's not even on urban dictionary yet.

How is it an adverb, exactly?

I think it's more likely intended as a noun modifying a noun, as in the pattern of "office furniture" or "soup spoon." Such usage is acceptable in English.

In any event, the genesis of the phrase appears to easily predate this site. Google's Ngram Viewer shows an original small transitory spike in usage around 1940, then fairly consistent gains in prevalence starting around 1960.

And awesome? It might not quite be dying out yet...

I don't see my relationship as competing or conflicting---other than the fact that he is a man and I am a woman---it's a give and take relationship and from the give and take is a balance or equality nothing competing or conflicting but that is just my way of looking at it.
