Mad Libs prompt (4)

I believe the answer is:

verb

(Other definitions for verb that I've seen before include "Type of word indicating action" , "Part of speech" , "love, for example" , "'In grammar, it denotes action (4)'" , "Predicate of a sentance (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
