Here's why:
* Noun: "Broad" can be used as a noun to refer to a woman, often in a derogatory way. This usage is considered outdated and offensive.
* Adjective: "Broad" is primarily used as an adjective meaning wide, extensive, or general.
* Example: "He has a broad smile."
To express the action of making something wider or more extensive, you would use verbs like "widen," "expand," "extend," or "broaden."
