Dear native speakers of English, what word will be appropriate in the sentence:
"Noun-incorporation – incorporation of a noun into a verb – is a distinctive feature of polysynthetic languages". I was told to replace the word incorporation. Do you think inclusion will do here?

The dictionary uses the words "affixing or infixing a noun to a verb." Possibly a more simple way to put it would be "attaching a noun to a verb." For me, "including" isn't quite specific enough for the definition of noun incorporation.

I'm not sure I understand the context. Is it for things like: (1) doctor -> doctoring (results), or (2) Google (company) -> googling, or something else? If it's the first one, I'd say "integration". For the second, it would be the genericization of a brand.
