expend
UK: ɪkˈspɛnd | US: ɪkˈspɛnd
vt. to spend or use up (money, time, resources, etc.)
vt. to distribute or pay out
The word "expend" originates from Latin expendere, combining ex- (out) and pendere (to hang, weigh, or pay). Historically, it referred to weighing out money (as coins were once weighed to determine value). Over time, it broadened to mean spending or consuming resources. The root pend also appears in words like "pendulum" (something hanging) and "compensate" (to weigh together).
