Etymology
The phrase "to advance a career" combines the verb "advance," from the Old French 'avancer,' meaning 'to move forward,' and "career," which originally referred to a racecourse in Middle English. Over time, "career" evolved to mean the course of one's professional life, making "to advance a career" literally about moving forward in one's professional path.
