Commuted; p. pr. & vb. n. Commuting.] [L. commutare,

one of imprisonment for life; to commute tithes; to
commute charges for fares.
[1913 Webster]
The sounds water and fire, being once annexed to
those two elements, it was certainly more natural to
call beings participating of the first "watery", and
the last "fiery", than to commute the terms, and
call them by the reverse. --J. Harris
[1913 Webster]
The utmost that could be obtained was that her
sentence should be commuted from burning to
beheading. --Macaulay.
