>"ousted" is merely an inflected form of the verb oust<
I recall things in Latin called gerunds and gerundives, which were verbal adjectives and verbal nouns. Unfortunately I can't remember which were which, but 'ousted' is a verbal adjective.
The examples which got me confused were the 'ing' words:
I am walking in the park. verb.
I like walking in the park. noun
The walking man is in the park. adjective.
...
And tsuwm, whilst I understand what you are getting at with 'pure' adjectives, I think we have discussed in many threads how poor little virgin adjectives (and other parts of speech!) become sullied and corrupted with the passage of time.
The valet blacked his master's shoes.
The novelist carefully whited out the mistakes in her manuscript.
...are these adjectival verbs????? ...Help!...
