Here's how we can break it down:
* "Fastest" is an adjective. It modifies the noun "changing".
* "Changing" is a participle acting as an adjective. It modifies the noun "part of speech".
Therefore, "fastest-changing" is a compound adjective. It describes the noun "part of speech" and indicates that it is changing quickly.
It's not about a specific part of speech being more prone to change, but rather about the rate of change within a specific area of language. For example, you might say:
* "English is the fastest-changing language in the world."
Here, "fastest-changing" describes the noun "language", indicating that English is changing at a rapid pace compared to other languages.
So, "fastest-changing" isn't a part of speech itself, but rather a description of something (like a language or a particular aspect of language) that is changing quickly.
