substituted
Put in instead
Substituted describes something that has replaced or been replaced by something else.
A substituted ingredient stands in for the original.
In chemistry, a substituted compound has one atom or group swapped for another: a substituted benzene ring.
The word often implies the replacement is adequate but not identical to what it replaced.
