expend

verb

Etymology: Borrowed from Latin expendō (“to weigh; to pay out”). Doublet of spend.

1. To consume, exhaust (some resource).

   “If my death might make this island happy […] I would expend it with all willingness.”

   “So next day the hunting began. I did not know how to shoot, but I proceeded to learn. And when I had expended some thirty shells for three seals, I decided that the ammunition would be exhausted before I acquired the necessary knowledge. I had used eight shells for lighting fires before I hit upon the device of banking the embers with wet moss, and there remained not over a hundred shells in the box.”
