the.com/promotion
The reward for great work: more work, slightly more money, and a fresh ceiling to hit.
means A move to a higher rank, position, or grade — or the act of actively pushing a product, cause, or person toward greater success or visibility.
from From Latin 'promovere,' to move forward — 'pro-' (forward) plus 'movere' (to move), the same root that gives us 'motion' and 'movement.' It arrived in English through the past participle 'promotus,' and for centuries it simply meant advancement: the forward push of a person up the ranks or an idea into the world. The marketing sense — promoting a product like you'd promote a soldier — is a comparatively recent twist on the same forward shove.
