Tips: Utilize means “to use in a practical or effective way” and so, means something more specific than "use," which is the more general word. Utilize can also be a more formal way of saying "to make use of." The word utilize should be avoided when the intended meaning is simply "use." The related noun utility means "usefulness, value, or efficacy." The noun utilization is often used in finance, technical, and operational discussions and refers to the use of equipment or resources and gaining utility from them (e.g: We were able to gain greater utilization from the new equipment).
