The word 'respect' is both a verb and a noun.

  • The verb "respect" means to consider worthy of high regard; to avoid interfering with; to avoid violating.
  • The noun "respect" is a word for the regard or deference due to experience, esteem, or authority; the recognition of an admirable or elevated position among peers; a particular aspect, feature, or detail of something.

Example uses:

"I prefer to work for a boss that I can respect." (verb)

"We must respect the feelings of the family." (verb)

"The professor had the respect of everyone in the school." (noun)

"The mayor changed his mind with respect to the location of the bridge." (noun)
