Is the word humble a noun or an adjective?

"Humble" is primarily an adjective.

It describes a quality or characteristic, such as:

* A humble person: Someone who is modest and unassuming.

* A humble beginning: A simple or insignificant start.

While "humble" can sometimes function as a noun, it's not a common usage. If used as a noun, it would refer to the state of being humble, such as:

* Her actions were a testament to her humble nature.

In these cases, "humility" would be the more common noun form.
