a relatively newcomer?
Model sentence: I’m not keen on entrusting control of the project to a relatively newcomer.
In "a relatively newcomer", the structure is "a + adv + N". This is quite strange, and I'm wondering if it's wrong. I think it should be "a relatively new comer". By the way, what does "keen" mean in this situation? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
