<< review queue entry 69626 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> "extract and use" is a bit vague because you can extract so many things -- iron ore from the ground, a splinter from a finger, a rotten tooth from a mouth, information from a criminal, etc. But the only reference I can find to this sense suggests that it's about money -- NA says "to divert to other uses" (as in their example sentence, translated as "This sum of money should not be diverted to any other use.") |
