How do you use complacent in a part of speech?

Answer 1

Complacent is only an adjective in English. So as in, you can say "That man is complacent with his job," meaning something along the lines of he's happy with it, and actually smug about it, which smug means to show excessive pride in one's acheivements, but he isn't "thinking critically enough about it" to actually feel that way. You could also say, then, using correct "grammar," "That couch, over there, is complacent." Some words are only designated as one part of speech in language, but can be used in the other parts of speech also. Many new words are added to the dictionary each year, and lexicographers come together, almost each year, to discuss new words and new ways in which to use the words we aleady have. You must use the spelling of the word complacent, to use it in another part of speech. To use the adjective complacent as a noun, it would be: complacency, or to use complacent as a verb, it would be: complacate or something along those lines. Lexiographers think of words at a simplistic level, linguistically.

Answer 2

"Complacent" can be used as an adjective to describe someone who is self-satisfied and unaware of potential dangers or challenges. For example, "She was complacent in her job, assuming she would always be successful without putting in much effort."
