avanzar

/abanˈθaɾ/ · A2 · verb

to advance

avanzar = advance: same Latin root abante, meaning from before

Spanish avanzar and English advance are cousins, both from Late Latin abantiare (ab + ante, from before). Swap the English dv for Spanish v and add the -ar verb ending. It covers both moving forwards and bringing a date forward.
