When the word form has a POS which is not one of the POS usually
expected (generally found in a dictionary) in GRACE we used
the word: "transcategorization", (depending on which side of the ocean
you are, you might transform the z into an s) but mine is only a
partial answer since only a portion of the cases described by Bill are covered
by this word.
