∙ 12y ago"Principal" is primarily an adjective and as such can be distinguished from its homophone "principle", which is (exclusively, as far as I know) an abstract noun. However, "principal" has two correct uses as a noun: as a school official who is the supervisor of other school officials, particularly teachers, and in finance, where "principal" means an amount of money initially invested with an expectation of receiving interest along with eventual return of the principal.
