What is "conversion"?

Conversion is a word formation process in which a word changes its grammatical category without any alteration to its form. This means that a word can shift from one part of speech to another while retaining the same spelling and pronunciation. For example, the noun "run" can be converted into the verb "run", and the adjective "clean" can become the verb "clean". Conversion allows for flexibility in language, enabling speakers to use words in different contexts and enhancing the richness of expression by expanding the possible uses of existing vocabulary.
