How it's used

Carries a sense of selfless sacrifice or stepping aside to allow someone else to fulfill their desires. It is often used in romantic contexts where one person gives up their own claim to a partner to ensure that person finds happiness with someone else. Beyond romance, it implies a generous act of enabling someone to reach a goal that they could not have achieved alone.

to facilitate a good deed or a happy union

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with simply helping someone with a task. It specifically implies a situation where the speaker has the power to block or hinder the other person but chooses to facilitate their success instead.
