verb
- (intransitive, obsolete) To commit usury."I turn no moneys in the public bank; Nor usure private."
noun
- (uncountable) The process by which a metaphor inexorably loses its freshness, power, and imagery through overuse."This movement involves a detour through metaphor: with the expropriation of the primitive meaning given to things, we fall into a metaphoric mode of understanding; in the course of human history and through the process of usure or wearing away of the figurative, and 'proper' meaning is restored; this new one is the old one effaced and carried to a higher conceptual power, now interiorized and spiritualized."
- (countable) An instance of degredation due to use; A sign of wear and tear."If the cartilage is thick, there are fewer usures and less destruction of the bone."
