「日焼{ひや}け」 is not representative of a means to nominalize verbs?


I was just thinking about the sunburn I will get during the upcoming 4th of
July holiday. Then, I wondered if 「日焼{ひや}け」is a verb nominalization. If it is,
I am not aware of such a pattern.

Is it an ad-hoc conglomeration of the idea of "sun", "skin", and "burn"?  
「日は人間の肌を焼ける」  
「日は焼ける」// make the object implicit  
「日焼ける」// drop the article  
「日焼け」// drop the trailing "る"

Or, is this representative of a certain verb nominalization process that can
be used to nominalize other verbs?




This is a common pattern of taking a noun + particle + verb combination and
shortening the verb to it's stem form:

As Choko points out in her comment to your question:

> 日に焼ける drops the particle に and changes 焼ける into the stem 焼け => 日焼け
>
> 炭火で焼く drops the particle で and changes 焼く into the stem 焼き => 炭火焼き
>
> 家で飲む drops the particle で and changes 飲む into the stem 飲み => 家飲み
>
> 花を見る drops the particle を and changes 見る into the stem 見 => 花見
>
> 道を行く drops the particle を and changes 行く into the stem 行き => 道行き

There are similar phrases that aren't created exactly in this way, but
similarly. For example:

> 遊び食べ

And others that have more nuanced meanings

> 裏行き does not just mean 裏で行く but references a distance.

So it's not a fast rule, but holds in many cases.
