Words ending in -ATE can be more than one part of speech.

In reiterate it is a verb.

In operate, disseminate, and create, it is a verb.

In literate, it is an adjective.

In consulate and electorate, it is a noun.

In separate and deliberate, it is a verb or an adjective.

In advocate and conglomerate, it can be a verb or a noun.

The suffix -ate is found added to nouns to form group nouns, and added to word roots to form verbs, adjectives, and associated nouns.
