What is the noun word for adjective

There isn't a single noun word that directly corresponds to the word "adjective" in the way that "noun" is the noun for "noun." However, there are several terms that can be used to describe the concept of an adjective, depending on the context:

* Adjectival: This is the most common and general term, acting as an adjective itself to describe something that is related to or resembling an adjective.

* Adjective: While "adjective" is typically used as a noun, it is actually a noun, meaning "a word that modifies a noun or pronoun."

* Modifier: This is a broader term that encompasses adjectives, adverbs, and other words that change the meaning of other words in a sentence.

* Descriptor: This is another broad term that refers to any word or phrase that describes something.

* Attribute: This refers to a quality or characteristic of a noun, which is often expressed by an adjective.

The best term to use will depend on the specific situation and what you are trying to communicate.
