From yesterday. “Nouns Can Become Verbs”
Verbal nouns may be non-finite verb forms such as infinitives or gerunds in English (or Latin) usage. They may also be “pure” verbal nouns, formed from verbs, but behaving grammatically entirely like nouns rather than verbs (not taking direct objects, for example). Such cases may also be called deverbal nouns.

I was speaking of the right thing, just the wrong identifier. But mistakes are just places to apply pressure if one is out to chastise instead of enlighten. I wish to enlighten and be enlightened. Not to get into fire fights.
