If something is used, that means it has been owned by someone else. If you buy used textbooks, that means they’re not new — someone else owned them and read them before you did. If you sell used cars, that means you’re selling cars that have already had at least one owner. Used can also describe things that have already served their purpose. Used batteries aren't good anymore: their power has been used up. People can also be used, and in this sense the word means “taken advantage of.” You might feel used by your neighbor if she's only nice to you when she needs you to water her plants. All forms of 'used' will appear on average once every 19 pages. disused misused reusable unusable usability usableness ill-usage disuse ill-use misuse overuse reuse usable usage usance use useable used useful useless user using unuseable useableness ill-used unused usefully usefulness unusefulness uselessly uselessness |
