[Verb] | "ex*ploit" | \ ik-ˈsplȯit \

1: to make productive use of : utilize

2: to make use of meanly or unfairly for one's own advantage

Origin: 1838 ;

Middle English espleiten, expleiten, expleten, esploiten "to facilitate, expedite (a journey), fulfill (a need), execute, complete, relate, explain," borrowed from Anglo-French espleiter, esploiter, exploiter "to carry out, achieve, promote, expedite, make use of, use unfairly, progress, succeed, act," probably going back to Vulgar Latin *explicitāre, repetitive derivative of Latin explicāre "to free from folds or creases, unroll, disentangle, spread out, bring into play, exercise" {mat|explicate|};

* Note : The Middle English form expleten suggests association with Latin explēre "to fill up, carry to completion, accomplish" (compare {expletive:2|expletive:2}). Latinizing variants with ex- have completely replaced earlier es- in both English and French. Earlier standard etymological dictionaries of French (Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch, Bloch and Wartburg's Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue française) see: the noun as the more basic form, going back to *explicitum, allegedly formed from the neuter of the Latin past participle explicitus (see: {explicit|explicit})—though the sense of the noun is active, not passive. Romance outcomes of *explicitāre are mainly restricted to Gallo-Romance (as Old Occitan esplechar "to make use of, execute, accomplish") and Catalan (esplet "harvest," espletar "to harvest"). Note that *explicitāre preserves only the figurative meaning "bring into play, exercise" of the root word explicāre, out of which French and English have elaborated further meanings. The sense "relate, explain" of the Middle English verb is not paralleled in French and did not survive into Modern English.;
