Etymology of AT ADVANTAGE

The phrase "at advantage" actually does not have an etymology of its own. Instead, it is a combination of the preposition "at" and the noun "advantage".

The word "at" comes from the Old English word "æt" and has had a consistent usage and meaning throughout its history.

On the other hand, "advantage" has a more complex etymology. It originated from the Latin word "ad- (to, toward)" and "vantage (profit, gain)". In Middle English, it was spelled as "avauntage" and gradually evolved to its present form.

When these two words are combined, "at advantage" means being in a situation where one has a favorable position or superior condition.
