When using a noun as an adjective, the noun is still a noun. This noun use is called 'noun as adjective'. If a noun is frequently used to describe a specific noun, it becomes a compound noun; for example bus stop or cell phone.

Note: There is currently a controversy raging among language experts about adding the designation for the noun 'fun' an adjective, because more and more people seem to use it that way. The 'fun as an adjective' group may eventually win. Then, the experts will have this problem: fun, more fun, most fun or fun, funner, funnest.
