What part of speech is the word evidence?

The word "evidence" is most commonly used as a noun.

Here are some examples:

* The police presented evidence of the suspect's guilt. (Evidence is the subject of the sentence.)

* They found new evidence in the case. (Evidence is the object of the verb "found".)

However, "evidence" can sometimes act as a verb, meaning "to provide evidence of something." For example:

* The witness evidenced the defendant's innocence.

It's less common to use "evidence" as a verb, but it's still a valid usage.
