It can be an adjective, a noun, or a verb. It is most often an adjective, as in such phrases as, "abstract art", "abstract philosophy", and "abstract noun", but it also has at least two meanings as a noun: An example of abstract art and a short summary of a longer writing.

It can also be an active transitive verb, meaning to remove something from a larger entity, as in, "A free radical can abstract a hydrogen atom from a hydrocarbon, thereby converting the original hydrocarbon into another free radical."
