What about verbs derived from nouns ? ;-)

Seriously, a lot of verbs, nouns and adjectives share the same word stem. You cannot simply claim that in such cases they always are derived from the noun. The only proposal you can blame me for is the Life/Living, but the problem is here that "living" is adjective and ing-form of the verb at once.

AutoStarted/AutoStarting
AutoInstantiated/AutoInstantiating
AutoLife/AutoLiving (you may actually drop the Auto prefix here - either it's living or dead <g>)

Is this better? All is about native speaking and currently you should be able to use the already chosen names in a sentence like:

1/ component is XXX
2/ factory supports YYY

XXX = cached, locked, synchronized, HiddenImplementation(?), PropertyApplicator(?)
YYY = caching, locking, synchronizing, ImplementationHiding, PropertyApplying

(?) might still need better names ...
