I know that adjectives that are derived from nouns are grammatically considered "denominal adjectives", however no dictionary I tried have given a result for "denominal"...

I know however that "nominal" means "relating to being a noun or name", and "de" is basically a prefix for "counter"... but I'm still perplexed about the lack of definition for a grammatical word. Input?

Not a complete dic but.

The suffix de- also means 'from'. Denominal means "derived from a noun" in this case. There's also: deadjectival nouns, deverbal nouns, and denominal verbs.

I keep looking at deadjectival, wondering if it differs from livejectival, but I DO digress.

Just for grins, I looked up ordinary because, well, darned if I know why. Anway, ordinary is an adjective, and it is deadjectivated into the noun ordinary, as in "out of the ordinary." AH! I remember why I looked it up. For some reason the student common room at my alma mater was called the Ordinary. I doubt that I everaskedwhy, come to think of it. Anyone from George Mason University around? Do they still have a place called the Ordinary?

And I just verbed deadjectival!

Does that fit?

The goods are in the warehouse.
A Red cannot be trusted.

A deadjectival verb would be albeo in Latin which means 'to be white' from albus 'white'. Not all languages can do de-X Y with what are called zero morphemes like English.

Albus Dumbledore.

maybe doesn't this belong in the other thread?

Albus Dumbledore.

Well, you can argue that substantives or adjectives came first in Latin, but I think folks probably talk about what color something was before they spoke of a color in the abstract.
