What does "Leverage" mean?
To use something you already have to get a bigger result. The word comes from physics — a small force applied at the right point can move a heavy object.
Example sentences
1
We can leverage our existing customers to launch this product.
2
She leveraged her network to find a new job in two weeks.
3
Don't just use the tool — leverage it for compound results.
Common mistake
Many learners say 'leverage on' — but the correct preposition is 'leverage' (no preposition) or 'leverage X to do Y'.
