Or a verbal noun(?), if you go the route of languages such as Japanese
(XX suru), Korean (XX hada), or Turkish (XX etmek). (Not saying that
those languages use that structure explicitly, only that they use it
quite a bit to make verbs out of nouns.)
Greek "kano klik" for "to click (on something with a mouse)" also
exemplifies it, also using a word meaning "to do".
