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?
