Drama
We are used to the fact that all relative adjectives in Russian are formed from nouns: city - > city, song - > song, etc. However, nouns are not always primary and adjectives are secondary in the formation of word-forming pairs. The history of a language knows exceptions when an adjective is used first, and then a related noun appears. This was the case with the adjective dramatic. In the Dictionary of the Russian language of the XVIII century, the adjective dates from 1735, and the noun drama-1738 (SLRYA XVIII v. L., 1991.

In the Russian language, the adjective dramatic came from European languages, judging by the stress on the last syllable, it is associated with the French dramatique (dramatique), the basis of which on Russian soil acquired ...
