This is unrelated to recent content of late, but I just wanted to get this down.
At some point recently, it occurred to me that “verbing,” the act of turning a word into a verb, is the only word that is what it defines.
The noun “verb” got turned into the verb, “verbing”—the accordant action it refers to being “to verb.” To turn a non-verb word, often a noun as it is in this case, into a verb.
