用途變更 (kyūjitai) |
Etymology
editOriginally a noun phrase as a compound of 用途 (yōto, “use, purpose”) + 変更 (henkō, “change, alteration”).
This appears to have lexicalized as a shift in usage from the construction ...の用途を変更する (... no yōto o henkō suru, “to change the purpose or use of [something]”), where the two elements 用途 (yōto) and 変更 (henkō) are treated separately, into ...を用途変更する (... o yōto henkō suru, “to repurpose [something]”), where the two are combined into a single element used as a verb.
Pronunciation
editVerb
edit用途変更する • (yōto henkō suru) transitive suru (stem 用途変更し (yōto henkō shi), past 用途変更した (yōto henkō shita))
- to repurpose something
