The word 'boring' is the present participle of the verb to bore; the act of making a deep hole with a drill like implement; or to make someone feel impatient or dissatisfied.

The present participle is also an adjective (a boring tool, a boring lecture) and a gerund, a verbal noun (Boring is not a good recommendation for a novel.), an abstract noun form.

The word 'bore' is a noun as well as a verb; a word for the measure inside a gun barrel, a concrete noun; and the trait of someone who talks too much about uninteresting subjects, or an uninteresting situation or activity; (He is a bore and his lectures are a bore.) both forms of abstract nouns.

Another abstract noun form is boredom.
