Find a purpose for (3)

I believe the answer is:

use

'find a purpose for' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for use that I've seen before include "Value" , "Custom - service" , "Employ, put into service" , "Take drugs regularly" , "Avail oneself of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal, The Washington Post, the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
