Advantageousness

/ədˌvæntɪdʒəsnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being advantageous; the degree to which something provides benefit or favor.

Etymology

From 'advantageous' plus the suffix '-ness.' Creates an abstract noun measuring how much advantage something contains.

Kelly Says

This abstract noun lets economists and strategists measure 'advantageousness' as if it's a neutral property, like measuring pH—but advantage is always relative to whose goals we're measuring.
