What part of speech is fraud?

"Fraud" can be a few different parts of speech depending on how it's used in a sentence:

* Noun: This is the most common usage. For example: "He was accused of fraud."

* Adjective: This is less common but possible. For example: "The fraud claim was thrown out of court." Here, "fraud" modifies the noun "claim."

Let me know if you have a specific sentence in mind, and I can help determine the part of speech for "fraud" in that context.
