'advanced' originates from the Latin word 'advancare,' where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'vancare' meant 'to move forward.'

'advancare' transformed into the Old French word 'avancer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'advance' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to move forward,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having reached a high level of development.'
