Deverbal noun

Deverbal nouns are nouns that are derived from verbs or verb phrases.

Formation

Hausa

Verbal nouns and deverbal nouns are distinct syntactic word classes. Functionally, deverbal nouns operate as autonomous common nouns,[1] while verbal nouns retain verbal characteristics.

French

There are two connotations of the deverbal nouns: one formed without any suffix (e.g. demander → une demande), or any noun descending from a verb (e.g. dévier → une déviation).[2]
