   Is Fry a noun or noun?

   • You can stir fry vegetables and deep fry doughnuts — and you have to be careful on a hot summer day not to (figuratively) fry yourself in the sun. When fry is a noun, it's usually short for "French fry ," but it also means youngster, or "small fry ." This less common meaning comes from Scottish, possibly from the Old Norse root frjo, "offspring."
