In 1886, the Statue of Liberty was dedicated. What is the meaning of the word "dedicated" in this context? Can't seem to find the meaning from the dictionary.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Merriam-Webster defines dedicated as a verb. This is the meaning you need.

So does it mean "to set apart for a certain use"? So is it right to say that the Statue of Liberty is dedicated as a symbol of freedom?
