As applied to (meaning) Hi everyone, I would like to know the meaning of "as applied to". Here is the context: "Simply: something can be generally useful, such as a bicycle or oscilloscope. However, the bicycle would be helpful in getting to class, but not the oscilloscope. The 'scope would be more helpful to view a waveform, though. Also, AS APPLIED TO people, helpful implies a willingness to assist, and usefulness implies having the ability to do something." Is there another way to say "AS APPLIED TO" ? Does it express an affirmation? Or Does it express a condition? So I wonder if "AS APPLIED TO people" means 1. SINCE IT IS APPLIED TO people (affirmation) 2. WHEN IT IS APPLIED TO people (condition)

Hi Jordi, as Chris says in his answer there's a good definition of 'applied to' in various dictionaries. I just want to add a small reply specifically to the two examples you gave at the end of your question... In this case 'as' ='when' - so, yes it's a condition. It means 'if the context of using the words is to describe people they mean....'
