The term is widely used across domains such as business, sports, politics, and technology, to describe a factor that contributes to success or superiority.

Etymology and related terms: Avantazh is a loanword in Albanian, most likely borrowed from Italian vantaggio, with possible influence from French avantage. The word has been integrated into Albanian spelling and morphology, where the base form avantazh can take the definite form avantazhi and the accusative definite form avantazhin. Common synonyms in Albanian include perparësi (advantage/advantageous position) and përfitim (benefit), though usage may vary by context.
