Syn:
Advantage,
Advantageous,
Benefit,
Beneficial.
Usage: We speak of a thing as a benefit, or as beneficial,
when it is simply productive of good; as, the benefits
of early discipline; the beneficial effects of
adversity. We speak of a thing as an advantage, or as
advantageous, when it affords us the means of getting
forward, and places us on a
“vantage ground” for
further effort. Hence, there is a difference between
the benefits and the advantages of early education;
between a beneficial and an advantageous investment of
money.
