It comes from late Latin abante, meaning "away before", from ab "away" and ante "before. This was turned into a verb abanteare in popular/vulgar Latin, "to go away before x".
The word came to English through Old French avanc(i)er. The English d was inserted based on a mistaken belief that the word was related to Latin ad "to(wards), at".
Advantage also comes from abante through French avant "before", with the same mistaken d.
