PUT

Full resource replacement

Put is a verb that conveys the act of placing or positioning something in a specific location or state.

Its versatility lies in its ability to describe both physical and abstract actions.

In finance, to put is to sell an option granting the right to sell an asset at a specified price (buy a put option).

In sports, put refers to propelling an object, as in shot put, where a heavy spherical object is thrust forward.
