Is subclassing a valid verb?



Is (to) subclass a valid verb? It comes from this background: Inheritance (object-oriented programming). A class models something and to create a subclass means to extend this class.


Answer



I have been subclassing for so long it had better be a verb.



Seriously, nouns can be easily verbed in English. We photocopy things, basketball players brick a shot, we table discussions. And on and on.
