Parts of Speech -- Varied Endings
Words can take on different endings as they are used as different parts of speech. For example, the word "visible" which is an adjective, becomes an adverb when -LY is added to form "visibly." The word becomes an abstract noun when it is changed to "visibility." Common noun versions are "vision" or "visionary."
