noun
Person or thing
A noun is a name for a person, place, or thing; in fact the words noun and name are related.
There are many kinds of nouns that are distinguished by what they designate and by the way they behave in sentences.
Nouns can serve as subjects or objects of verbs, and as objects of prepositions.
Nouns are by far the most frequent words in most languages, English included.
