The word 'check' is primarily a verb, meaning to examine, verify, or stop/hold. While 'check' can function as a noun (a bank check, a checkmark), or adjective (checkered pattern), its most fundamental classification is as an action word.

In chess, 'check' occurs when the king is under direct threat of capture. The player must immediately eliminate this threat on their next move by moving the king, blocking the attack, or capturing the attacking piece. This is a fundamental chess concept - the king is never actually captured; the game ends when checkmate occurs.

A check played in response to a check is called a 'cross check' or 'counter-check' in chess terminology. This occurs when one player checks the opponent's king while their own king is in check, though legal considerations apply.
