Well, the Italian adjective following its noun is the normal word order. It is the exception if the adjective comes first.

Thanks. I have been trying to learn Italian for some (considerable) time. Each time I make a new effort to
learn Italian I seem to get stuck on some aspect of grammer. In this case I was puzzled on the role of 'USO'.
That is treating it as a verb, 'to use'. Your answer has cleared that confusion up. Please look out for my
further requests for help!

Uso is a synonym for utilizzo.
As in English the same word can be used both as a verb and as a noun:
Io uso - I use
l'uso principale - the main use
