For a variety of functions

The word that is widely used in English for a variety of functions.

I understand that "for" is a preposition here but between what ( should I say which?) elements of sentence it establishes the relationship here? I think , "function" is the object of preposition.
Thanks

Now I get it! Thank you. When I saw the OP's post, I thought that that was a relative pronoun as it wasn't in italics.

It proves that punctuation can make the difference between a grammatical and ungrammatical sentence.
