Etymology

The word "advantageous" derives from the noun "advantage," which entered Middle English from Old French avantage (meaning "superior position, profit"), itself stemming from avant ("before") + -age (noun-forming suffix). The suffix -ous (from Latin -osus) was added to form the adjective, implying "full of advantage." The logical progression reflects the idea of a state or quality that confers benefit or superiority.
