Part of Speechn.
The part of speech reflects that used in the full entry, and not necessarily the part of speech as it is used in the quotation below.
Quotation: The babyfaces hung around together and the heels stayed with each other as well. That’s the way it was in the those “kayfabe” days. ("Kayfabe” is wrestling slang that refers to protecting the business. To “kayfabe” basically means that the wrestler keeps the inner workings of the business to himself and doesn’t share them with the fans. Sort of like a magician doesn’t reveal his tricks.)
