From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Noun \Noun\, n. [OF. noun, nun, num, non, nom, F. nom, fr. L.
      nomen name. See {Name}.] (Gram.)
      A word used as the designation or appellation of a creature
      or thing, existing in fact or in thought; a substantive.
  
      Note: By some grammarians the term noun is so used as to
               include adjectives, as being descriptive; but in
               general it is limited to substantives.
