Nominalisation
From Teflpedia
Nominalisation or nominalization (/ˌnɒmɪnəlaɪˈzeɪʃən/) is the use of a word which is not a noun (e.g., a verb, an adjective or an adverb) as a noun, or as the head of a noun phrase, with or without morphological transformation.
Generally these are formed by adding noun suffixes such as -ion, -hood, -ment, -ity, -ty, -ness or -ing (the last for gerunds).
Nominalisation is very common in the academic English register. It’s also what we use on this wiki, so for example the verb nominalise, adjective/past participle nominalised both redirect to this page.
Note phrasal nouns — nominalised phrasal verbs.
