Understanding the meaning of words makes it possible to freely communicate in any situation with any worthy contingent of interlocutors. The word "exploit" is often found in the lexicon of modern Russian speakers. But do we all understand what it means?
Origin
"Exploit" is a word of foreign origin. His homeland is France. In its original form, it looks like this: exploiter, but it sounds like "exploiter". The original meaning of the French word is to mine, use, function, develop. Such a wide range of meanings still binds the word to the scientific vocabulary, even in the native language. Therefore, it is not surprising that in Russian "exploit" is the term most often used in science and technology.
Application
The verb "exploit" is applicable in several fields of science. In history, exploitation is the forcible use of the labor of one person by another for the acquisition of benefits. For example, in the slave system, the masters exploited slaves who did not have the right to choose,votes and no rights at all. Accordingly, to exploit a person means to use the results of his work in his own interests, while infringing on the rights of such a person.
With respect to technology, to exploit is to use the device for its intended purpose. Any mechanism has its own period of application and instructions, following which, it can even be extended. To operate equipment for its intended purpose is a normal phenomenon in the daily life of a modern person.
This concept is also applicable in engineering and construction. To exploit the premises means to use them according to their intended purpose. In this sense, the concept is closely related to building maintenance. The more carefully a building is maintained, the longer it can last.
Synonyms
For colloquial everyday speech, this word of foreign origin is quite long and inconvenient to use. For this reason, we, without realizing it, are replacing it with native Russian simple and understandable words. General synonyms for the word "exploit" are "use", "acquire benefits", "take", "work", "force", "extract", "borrow". Most often, this is what is meant by the word being described.
However, when writing scientific papers, abstracts, reports, you should carefully choose the words and style of the text. In thatIn this case, it is better to consider whether this word can be exploited, or whether it is better to just use it correctly.
