Advancement is usually used figuratively to indicate promotion or movement beyond an established norm: career advancement. Unlike advance, advancement often implies the existence of an agent or outside force. Thus the advance of science means simply "the progress of science," whereas the advancement of science implies progress resulting from the action of an agent or force: The purpose of the legislation was the advancement of science.advances (ədˈvɑːnsɪz) pl n (sometimes singular; often foll by to or towards) personal overtures made in an attempt to become friendly, gain a favour, etcTranslationsEncyclopediaSeeadvanceAdvances
