advantaging
- 1Present participle and gerund of advantage.
Critics say the policy is advantaging incumbents while shutting out newcomers.
Advantaging one region over another rarely produces a fair outcome.
Note
A form that drops the final e of advantage before adding -ing, and one that always takes an object: you advantage someone, never simply advantage. The rival is usually named with over, as in advantaging one region over another. With a reflexive pronoun the meaning turns self-serving. Advantaging oneself is close to taking advantage of a situation, so the object decides whether the verb describes favoritism or opportunism.
