Etymology
Romanian borrowed "avantaj" from French "avantage" in the 19th century, during the period when Romanian intellectuals reshaped the language with Western Romance vocabulary. The French word itself formed from "avant" (before, ahead) plus the suffix "-age", so it originally meant something like "the state of being ahead". "Avant" traces back to Latin "ab ante", from "ante" meaning before.
