use
Use means to put into practice or to employ something. In a legal context, the most common meaning of the term “use,” is the right to enjoy the benefits of real estate or personal property (but primarily used in reference to real estate), irrespective of whether the owner of the right owns the property. Therefore, in this context, “use” is equivalent to benefit.
