A spare part allows you to replace damaged parts with new ones.
Replacement is the procedure and result of replacing , a verb that refers to replacing an element with another of the same type or to performing a second exchange . For example: “The machine comes with several spare parts in case one breaks,” “Providers have high expectations regarding tourist replacement,” “The government announced an important replacement of officials.”
The notion of replacement is used when the buyer of a certain good receives certain additional components to replace the original ones in case of breakage, loss, etc. It is also used to name something that allows you to replace something acquired that does not work as it should.
Replacement of parts
A person may purchase a piece of furniture that, in the assembly process, requires the installation of ten screws. The manufacturer, in any case, sells the furniture with fifteen screws included, since it includes five spare parts in case any screw breaks or is lost.
Starting from this meaning, we have to explain that within the automotive field, the use of the term spare part is widely used. And it is used to refer to all those vehicle parts that break down and can be replaced with others. Thus, when someone notices that one of the components of their car has broken and cannot be repaired, what they do is go to a specialized store to replace them with new ones.
Tourist turnover occurs when many travelers return to their place of origin and others, simultaneously, head to their vacation destination.
Other uses of the term
The concept of replacement is also used with reference to the replacement of members of a certain organization or entity . Replacement in the squad (or squad ) of a football club involves the departure of certain players and the hiring of others who arrive to replace them.
Within the field of nutrition and biology, the term we are addressing is also frequently used. In both cases we talk about what is known as protein turnover , a renewal process carried out by the body's proteins in order to ensure that it can function without any problem. A process that is based on the degradation of amino acids and the formation of new proteins.
Tourist turnover , on the other hand, occurs when tourists who are in a vacation city return to their homes and, simultaneously, other travelers begin to arrive at the tourist center. This change usually occurs at the beginning and middle of the month, with traffic on the routes increasing during those days.
Replacement in other contexts
To all this we must add that the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) establishes that the word in question can also be used with two other meanings, although both are increasingly out of use:
- Like an excessive profit that someone has obtained.
- As a synonym for changing some things.
In the same way, we cannot forget that there is the verbal phrase “return to the replacement” , which is used to record that something is paid for in the same currency.
