Is architect a verb?
posted by Anna Mar, December 07, 2011Yes, architect is a verb. Some dictionaries list it as a verb and others do not. The ones that don't haven't caught up with the modern usage of the word.
Common Pitfalls
If architect wasn't a verb you'd be stuck with a verb such as "design". This can easily be confused with low level technical design. When architect is the correct verb — it's better to use it.The present continuous tense "architecting" tends to be over used. The present and past tense of "architect" sound more compelling.
