the gap between what something costs and what someone's willing to pretend it's worth
means The financial gain left over when revenue exceeds the cost of producing or selling something.
from From Latin 'profectus,' meaning 'progress' or 'advance,' the past participle of 'proficere' — 'to make headway, to accomplish' — built from 'pro-' (forward) and 'facere' (to do or make). It arrived in English through Old French 'profit,' carrying the sense of 'doing forward,' of an undertaking that pays off. The word is a close cousin of 'proficient,' both rooted in the idea of getting somewhere.
