The process of creating a new verb based on an existing noun. The new verb provides an abbreviated way to describe using the noun. Urban Dictionary

What happens to a word when someone decides to make a literary change to it, or to slang it. For example, access. Access used to be a noun, and now it's a verb. In factuality, the word verbify would not exist if itself had not happened to itself. Hence, verbify got verbified, or verbed. The present tense (another example, adjective to verb) of the action is always verbify, but the past tense can be either verbified, or tensed into "verbed." However, "verb itself did not get verbed, so you cannot verb a word, but a word can be verbed. Urban Dictionary

The act of changing a noun into a verb Urban Dictionary

To derive a verb from an already existing noun Urban Dictionary
