Explanation:
Abstract nouns are used to refer to concepts, ideas, experiences, qualities, feelings, or entities that cannot be seen, heard, tasted, smelled, or touched. Abstract nouns are neither concrete nor perceptible. There are many abstract nouns (virtues) used in proverbs.
Verbs or adjectives can be converted to abstract nouns and vice versa by adding suffixes.
The suffix is a letter added to the end of the stem to form a new word. The affix used in the suffix word forms a different type of word, unlike the affix used in the previous word. Most of the suffixes used in words have no meaning in their own right. For example: -ness, -ship, -ry, -ation, etc.
