noun of verb "plummet"

[sb70012]

Hello,

"plunge" = is a sudden increase in prices and it can be used as a noun or a verb.

"plummet" = but this word is only used as a verb not a noun. (a quick decrease in price)

I want to know that what is the noun of the verb "plummet"?

Source: no source, self made general question
Thank you

The first five dictionaries I checked all clearly show "plummet" as a noun. Why do you think it's only a verb?

Thanks for answering. Because Longman Dictionary says it's just a verb. That's why I asked this question.

The problem here, is that the noun use of "plummet" has little to do with a drop or a fall. As a noun, it is most often used to describe the lead weight on a plumb line. That use was the original one. The verb "plummet" is a relatively recent addition to the English lexicon, but it the only use that is common in modern English.

The one dictionary you looked at cites it only as a verb. Nowhere do they say that it's just a verb.
You're at a level where looking up one dictionary and making a decision on the basis of that is likely to lead you to all sorts of wrong conclusions.

Ok. Then, I'll use it as a noun too. Everybody, thanks for answering.
