No, the word 'both' is not a noun.

The word 'both' is an adjective, a conjunction, and a pronoun.

  • The adjective 'both' is used to describe a noun as being two in conjunction.
  • The conjunction 'both' is used with and to indicate that each of two things is included.
  • The pronoun 'both' is an indefinite pronoun, a word that takes the place of nouns for two people or things that are unnamed or unknown.

Examples:

Both boys did well on their report cards. (adjective)

Both boys and girls enjoyed the class trip. (conjunction)

If you can't decide which you like best, buy both. (pronoun)
