Definitions

  1. A favorable condition or benefit.

Word origin

From Middle English avantage, avauntage, from Old French avantage, from avant (“before”), from Late Latin ab ante. The spelling with d originates in a latinizing hypercorrection, the a- being falsely supposed to be from Latin ad (see advance). For sense development, compare foredeal.

Used in a sentence

  • “The enemy had the advantage of a more elevated position.”
  • “Give me advantage of some brief discourse.”
  • “the advantages of a close alliance”
