applications
Uses for something
Applications are formal requests, typically submitted in writing: a job application, a college application, a loan application.
The word also names software programs designed for specific tasks—apps on your phone, word processors on your computer.
In technical contexts, application refers to putting something to practical use: the application of scientific principles to engineering problems.
To apply ointment is an application of ointment.
