Why can a noun can define a adjective?
The definition of the word "advanced" is "ahead of others in progress or sophistication". "Ahead of others in progress" is clear enough, but not the "or sophistication". Coz " sophistication" is a noun, but "advanced" is adjective. Why can a noun can define a adjective?Why can a noun define a adjective?

You should read it as "progress or sophistication".
ie.
"Ahead of others in progress OR ahead of others in sophistication."
Feel free to ask if that's unclear :-)

You can advance through a process, such as a computerized menu.
Or you can be advanced, "He is taking a class called 'Advanced Math.'" or "The child's language skill were advanced for his age."
Am I in the ballpark?

The noun does not define the adjective.
"Ahead of others in progress or sophistication" defines the word "advanced".
I'm not really sure what you're asking.

"Tired" is a state of mind or body.
Tired is an adjective. "state" is a noun, "mind" is a noun, "body" is a noun. All three nouns explain what "tired" mean.
"advanced" is "ahead of others in progress or sophistication". You seem to have problems understanding why "sophistication" being a noun can define an adjective. But "progress" is also a noun, and you don't seem to have any problem understanding that it defines the adjective.
Could you be more specific as to what you do not understand?
