Naming word (4)

I believe the answer is:

noun

'naming word' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for noun that I've seen before include "Substantive word" , "Type of word" , "Part of speech identifying a person, place or thing" , "Person, place, thing, state or quality?" , "Naming word (grammar)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Times, The Independent, The Mirror, The Sun and The Telegraph.
