use up

[Middle English usen, from Old French user, from Vulgar Latin *ūsāre, frequentative of Latin ūtī.]

Synonyms: use, employ, utilize. These verbs mean to avail oneself of someone or something in order to make him, her, or it useful, functional, or beneficial. To use is to put into service or apply for a purpose: uses a hearing aid; used the press secretary as spokesperson for the administration; using a stick to stir the paint. Employ is often interchangeable with use: She employed her education to maximum advantage. Unlike use, however, the term can denote engaging or maintaining the services of another or putting another to work: "When men are employed, they are best contented" (Benjamin Franklin). Utilize is especially appropriate in the narrower sense of making something profitable or of finding new and practical uses for it: In the 19th century waterpower was widely utilized to generate electricity.
