Does "easily-going" exist?

English Language & Usage Asked on July 12, 2021

I’m studying English compound word patterns and "easily-going" is mentioned as an example of a compound adjective formed by an ADVERB + PRESENT PARTICIPLE. But it sounds too odd to me. I’ve done a quick search on the Internet and couldn’t find any information about that. Would someone be so kind to shed some light on this? Thank you.

Easily going is not a common colocation, but shows up on Google NGram, e.g.:

“Look, you're a badass player, and this is easily going to be the best season we've ever had, so we owe you.” (John Goode) and other books.

Or did I miss the question?
