英文词源

advance
advance:[13]Advanceoriginated in the Latin adverbabante‘before’ (source of, among others, Frenchavantand Italianavanti), which in turn was based onab‘from’ andante‘before’. In post-classical times a verb, *abantiāre, seems to have been formed from the adverb. It developed into Old Frenchavancer, and passed into English asavaunce, initially with the meaning ‘promote’.
A new form,advancer, started life in Old French, on the mistaken association ofavancerwith otherav- words, such asaventure, which really did derive from Latin words with thead- prefix; over the 15th and 16th centuries this gradually established itself in English. The nounadvancedid not appear until the 17th century.

advance (v.)
mid-13c.,avauncen, transitive, "improve (something), further the development of," from Old Frenchavancier"move forward" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin*abanteare(source of Italianavanzare, Spanishavanzar), from Late Latinabante"from before," composed ofab-"from" (see ab-) +ante"before, in front of, against" (see ante).
The-d-was inserted 16c. on mistaken notion that initiala-was from Latinad-. From c. 1300 as "to promote;" intransitive sense is mid-14c., "move forward." Meaning "to give money before it is legally due" is first attested 1670s. Related: Advanced;advancing. The adjective (inadvance warning, etc.) is recorded from 1843.
