utilisation
Making practical use
Utilisation is the British spelling of utilization—the act of putting something to use or the degree to which something is used.
Hospital bed utilisation reached 95% during the outbreak.
The word often appears in bureaucratic or technical contexts where "use" would serve just as well.
