leverage Hear it!

leverage definition - telecom
A euphemism for reuse. A considerable number of definitions in this book are leveraged from other books I have written for Wiley. I spent so much time writing these beautifully worded definitions over the last 10 years that I figured there was no point in trying to reword them and twist them out of shape in the process. Some things just don't make sense. See also euphemism.
