[ L. praevalens, - entis, p. pr. of praevalere. See { Prevail}.] 1. Gaining advantage or superiority; having superior force, influence, or efficacy; prevailing; predominant; successful; victorious. [ 1913 Webster] Brennus told the Roman embassadors, that prevalent arms were as good as any title. -- Sir W. Raleigh. [ 1913 Webster] 2. Most generally received or current; most widely adopted or practiced; also, generally or extensively existing; widespread; prevailing; as, a prevalent observance; prevalent disease. [ 1913 Webster] This was the most received and prevalent opinion. -- Woodward. [ 1913 Webster] Syn: Prevailing; predominant; successful; efficacious; powerful. Usage: { Prevalent}, { Prevailing}. What customarily prevails is prevalent; as, a prevalent fashion. What actually prevails is prevailing; as, the prevailing winds are west. Hence, prevailing is the livelier and more pointed word, since it represents a thing in action. It is sometimes the stronger word, since a thing may prevail sufficiently to be called prevalent, and yet require greater strength to make it actually prevailing.
