The word 'suspect' is both a noun (suspect, suspects) and a verb (suspect, suspects, suspecting, suspected).

To suspect someone of something is an action, so it is a verb.

A suspect as in person who has been arrested for a crime in a noun.

A verb is a word that describes an action (run, walk, etc), a state of being (exist, stand, etc) or occurrence (happen, become, etc).

A noun is a word for a person (man, lady, teacher, etc), place (home, city, beach, etc) or thing (car, banana, book, etc).

Suspect can be used as a noun, too. When used as a noun, the stress falls on the first syllable:suspect. However, the stress falls on the second syllable when used as a verb: suspect.

Suspect is a verb. It can also be noun and an adjective. Look for the context cues, pronunciation can help as well.

(Schwa following the first "s" with the accent on the last syllable) Verb: To suppose something to be true without evidence.

(Short "u" following the first "s" with the primary accent on the first syllable) Noun: A person who is suspected of something, particularly a crime.

(either pronunciation is acceptable) Adjective: To view with suspicion.

Suspect is already a verb in the correct context.
As in "to suspect something or someone".

For example "I suspect he is cheating on me".
Or "I suspect that a bulb has blown".
