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
