When was the last time you harbinged your arrival to the holiday party? Do you lase the cat when it’s playtime? Emote at your spouse when you’re angry? Get a jump scare from one who spides? Lech after someone at the bar? Buttle for a paycheck?
What other words are like that, whose noun forms are relatively common (harbinger/laser/emotion/spider/lecher/buttler), but whose verb forms are rarely used?
Bonus: Some of these are back-formations that people made up from the noun form. Are there any words whose verb forms were originally more common, but then fell into disuse later on once the noun gained more traction?
