The word exhaust can mean:-monkeys in a cage

  • A verb meaning "tire out", as in "After the long gallop, his horse was exhausted."
  • A verb meaning "use up, consume", as in "That area's copper ore deposits are nearly exhausted".

In set theory, exhaustive is an attribute of rule(s) for defining the inclusion/exclusion of elements of a collection of sets such that no non-exclusive elements remain which cannot definitely be included in one and only one set.

The word comes from the Latin exhaustus meaning "drained dry, emptied", from the verb exhauriō.
