monetize = "use to make a profit"

[Jonathan Lighter]

OED may need to adjust its entry for "monetize" to include this sense. A guest on CNBC's _On the Money_ has been talking about "monetizing" not real assets but ideas, schemes, plans, etc.

  She was asked, "What do you mean by 'monetize'?" and she replied, "Make money off it."
