Denominal Verbs
Lots of
denominal verbs here, i.e. verbs derived from nouns — for instance,
trantruming from
tantrum and
meltdowning from
meltdown (interestingly,
melting down doesn’t have the same force).
This is the same process that gave us access as a verb (e.g. to access a file) and, more recently, to dialogue with someone.
