part-of-speech
Noun or verb
Part-of-speech refers to the grammatical category a word belongs to based on its function in a sentence—noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and so on.
The term appears mainly in grammar instruction and linguistics: What part of speech is "running" in this sentence?
Usually hyphenated as a modifier: a part-of-speech tag.
