What is the difference between 'Corporate' and 'Corporation'?
0
I've done an extensive search but didn't find anything on that.
Is 'Corporate' (as a noun) simply a shorter form of 'Corporation'?
Also, if a condition dictates that 'a company name can't include the word corporation', does this mean that by default 'corporate' cannot be used as well?
Thanks,

Corporate as a noun is usually short for “[Corporate] Headquarters” which is a metonym for “The bigwigs who run the place”

@jim There is a noun form of corporate, but it means "a bond issued by a business corporation." In corporate headquarters, corporate is not a noun, it's an adjective. Similarly, that's the difference as it applies to the context of this question: corporate is an adjective and corporation is a noun.

According to Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, corporate is also a noun. It is defined as 'a company, especially a large one'. @JasonBassford.

@Ohood.94 Wow, you're right. From Oxford Dictionaries: 'Because of this amendment, corporates can now directly procure goods from farmers.’, ‘More and more corporates are therefore setting up centres in the city.’ And so on. Fascinating. I have never heard the word used this way before. I wonder if it's only done in UK English?

I would edit your question to provide links and dictionary definitions. Unless you can show a US English dictionary that has the same noun definition, it may be something regional.
