How do you use the expression “spend himself/herself”? Hi. I know we can say “the hurricane gradually spent itself”. But how do you use the expression “spend himself/herself”? Can we use them to mean “exhaust”? Thank you.

Yes, it can mean to exhaust oneself. However, this phrase isn't very common (at least not where I'm from). I've never heard it before. A similar phrase is "to wear (oneself) out." It also means to exhaust oneself, but it's much more common. So instead of saying "the hurricane gradually spent itself," I would say "the hurricane gradually wore itself out." Hope this is helpful :)
