LINGUISTICS

Respected Sirs,

I wish to know about the growth of language with the birth of new words and usages. Can you please supply me with a list of old words that acquired new usages. For example a word might be originally a noun, but the said word might have been used as a verb, adjective or adverb later by some author or poet and such usage during later times continues. Please Sirs.

Can you list out such words, phrases etc.

With best regards,
