French/Davantage

Davantage is a French word meaning "more". For example:
 * Nous avons un rôle important à jouer sur la scène globale et je compte utiliser le Conseil européen pour le développer davantage. We have an important role to play on the world stage and I intend to use the European Council to develop that role more.

Contrast with plus
Plus is a more versatile word than davantage; for example, it can be used in ne ... plus constructions, or in de plus en plus de constructions to mean "more and more".

In contrast to plus, davantage is more often used in comparisons when the second term of the comparison is not expressed, e.g.:
 * Il a plus d'argent que moi, mais j'ai davantage de loisirs. He has more money than me, but I have more spare time.
