Surely, it was a noun (and still is) before computer PEOPLE came along and
made it an adjective (e.g. "PIP is a utility program...").
utility, n. - the quality or property of being useful. ...
Synonyms - usefulness, advantage, benefit, convenience, service, use.
My 1983 dictionary doesn't even have an entry for "utility" as an adjective.
I realize this is even more off-topic, but I hope it has been of some utility.
