what is the meaning of appositive?
465122
(m)\n\nIn grammar, an appositive is defined as a noun phrase that generally follows, but occasionally precedes, another noun phrase and renames or describes it. One way to identify an appositive is to ask the question: could this phrase replace the word next to it? Does this phrase make the word next to it all but unnecessary?\n\nIn the following examples, appositives and appositive phrases are identified by italics:\n\nAn appositive, a grammatically incomplete noun phrase, is generally set off by commas, a reader-friendly invention. \nAlexander the Great, the Macedonian conqueror of Persia, was one of the most successful military commanders of the ancient world. \nBill's friend Alice adored the famous singer Dean Martin. \nBill brought Alice along to the famous singer's wedding. Bill's friend, Alice, adored Dean Martin, the famous singer. \nAppositives are either restrictive, in which case they are essential to the meaning of the sentence, or non-restrictive, in which case they are not. The appositives in the third example above are restrictive, as it is assumed that Bill has more than one friend, and there is more than one famous singer (compare restrictive clause). Restrictive appositives do not require commas. The appositives in example four are non-restrictive, since Bill's friend and the famous singer have already been identified.

Another "answerer" explained that an adjective\ntells more about a noun -- which is certainly true.\n\nHowever, you asked about a word that tells more\nabout **another** noun, so I think maybe your're \nthinking of an "apositive".\n\nAn appositive is a noun (or noun phrase) that renames\nor describes another noun.\n\nOne of the examples from Wikipedia is:\n\nAlexander the Great, the Macedonian conqueror\nof Persia, was one of the most successful military\ncommanders of the ancient world.\n\nIn this case, the noun phrase "the Macedonian\nconqueror of Persia" is further explaining\nthe noun phrase "Alexander the Great".
