In Grammar, we say, A Word is taken absolutely,
ACCUSATIVE, in Grammar, the fourth Case of Nouns that are declined. See CASE, and NOUN.
Its Use may be conceived from this, That all Verbs which express Actions that pass from the Agent, as, to beat, to break, &c., must have Subjects to receive those Actions: for, if I beat, I must beat something; so that a Verb evidently requires after it a Noun, or Name, to be the Subject or Object of the Action expressed. See VERB.

ADJECTIVE, Noun Adjective, or ADNOUN, in Grammar, a kind of noun joined with a noun substantive, either expressed or understood, to show its manner of being, that is, its qualities or accidents. See NOUN, etc.
The word is formed from the Latin "adjicere," meaning "to add to"; as it is meant to be added to a substantive, without which it has no precise signification at all.
Father Bouvier defines adjective in a new manner and sets it in a light different from that of other grammarians.Nouns, according to him, are substantives when the objects which they represent are considered simply and in themselves, without any regard to their qualities: On the contrary, they are adjectives when they express the quality of an object. See QUALITY.
