“To set up” in ambulatory AmE:”to arrange/prepare” or “to arrange” in colloquial Ineam. “(* */)”
What is the meaning of “to set up” in Americans?
What is the funny thing or the absurd thing about “to set up” I can’t seem to find one dictionary online that states this sense as fact.
Actually, the definitions of “to set up” that I found to approximate “to arrange” the most are “to make carefully worked out plans (usually mischievous ones) for” — and “to assemble and erect” (set up a new machine) , which, I guess, can also be used metaphorically.
And so, I wish you could tell if “to set up” for “to arrange .” Is it safe to use in every context and register but the most formal ones?
E.g., TAG.
