From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Use \Use\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Used}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Using}.]       [OE. usen, F. user to use, use up, wear out, LL. usare to       use, from L. uti, p. p. usus, to use, OL. oeti, oesus; of       uncertain origin. Cf. {Utility}.]       1. To make use of; to convert to one's service; to avail             one's self of; to employ; to put a purpose; as, to use a             plow; to use a chair; to use time; to use flour for food;             to use water for irrigation.                         Launcelot Gobbo, use your legs.         --Shak.                         Some other means I have which may be used. --Milton.          2. To behave toward; to act with regard to; to treat; as, to             use a beast cruelly. [bd]I will use him well.[b8] --Shak.                         How wouldst thou use me now?               --Milton.                         Cato has used me ill.                        --Addison.          3. To practice customarily; to make a practice of; as, to use             diligence in business.                         Use hospitality one to another.         --1 Pet. iv.                                                                               9.          4. To accustom; to habituate; to render familiar by practice;             to inure; -- employed chiefly in the passive participle;             as, men used to cold and hunger; soldiers used to             hardships and danger.                         I am so used in the fire to blow.      --Chaucer.                         Thou with thy compeers, Used to the yoke, draw'st                      his triumphant wheels.                        --Milton.          {To use one's self}, to behave. [Obs.] [bd]Pray, forgive me,             if I have used myself unmannerly.[b8] --Shak.          {To use up}.             (a) To consume or exhaust by using; to leave nothing of;                   as, to use up the supplies.             (b) To exhaust; to tire out; to leave no capacity of force                   or use in; to overthrow; as, he was used up by                   fatigue. [Colloq.]          Syn: Employ.          Usage: {Use}, {Employ}. We use a thing, or make use of it,                   when we derive from it some enjoyment or service. We                   employ it when we turn that service into a particular                   channel. We use words to express our general meaning;                   we employ certain technical terms in reference to a                   given subject. To make use of, implies passivity in                   the thing; as, to make use of a pen; and hence there                   is often a material difference between the two words                   when applied to persons. To speak of [bd]making use of                   another[b8] generally implies a degrading idea, as if                   we had used him as a tool; while employ has no such                   sense. A confidential friend is employed to negotiate;                   an inferior agent is made use of on an intrigue.                               I would, my son, that thou wouldst use the power                            Which thy discretion gives thee, to control And                            manage all.                                 --Cowper.                               To study nature will thy time employ: Knowledge                            and innocence are perfect joy.      --Dryden.
