Does anyone know what you call a noun that has morphed to a verb. For example, "He medalled a the Olympics." Obviously, 'medal' is not a verb but people have made it a verb. I read in an article and 'architecture' was used as a verb. Very strange to me. I am looking for the word that describes this shift in part of speech that seems to be more prevalent these days. Thank you.
