'advanceable' originates from the word 'advance', which comes from Old French 'avancer', derived from Latin 'abante', where 'ab-' meant 'from' and 'ante' meant 'before'.

'avancer' transformed into the Middle English word 'avauncen', and eventually became the modern English word 'advance'.

Initially, it meant 'to move forward', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
