A benefit is something that helps you, whether in the form of health insurance provided by an employer, welfare given by the government to those in need, or the benefit of the doubt extended to you by a friend.
The Latin bene- «good» is at the heart of the word benefit, which derives from the Latin benefactum «good deed.» When attendance at a party or an event raises money for a charity, the event is referred to as a benefit in that charity’s honor.

BENEFITnoun
Etymology: beneficium, Lat.
1. A kindness; a favour conferred; an act of love.
When noble benefits shall prove
Not well dispos’d, the mind grown once corrupt,
They turn to vicious forms.

Wisdom, xvi. 24.3. In law. Benefit of clergyis an ancient liberty of the church, when a priest, or one within orders, is arraigned of felony before a secular judge, he may pray his clergy; that is, pray to be delivered to his ordinary, to purge himself of the offence objected to him: and this might be done in case of murder. The ancient law, in this point of clergy, is much altered; for clerks are no more delivered to their ordinaries to be purged, but now every man, though not within orders, is put to read at the bar, being found guilty, and convicted of such felony as this benefit is granted for; and so burnt in the hand, and set free for the first time, if the ordinary’s commissioner, or deputy, standing by, do say, Legit ut clericus; or, otherwise, suffereth death for his transgression. John Cowell

Benefit
Benefit is the third album by Jethro Tull, released in April 1970. It was the first Tull album to include pianist and organist John Evan – though he was not yet a permanent member of the group – and the last to include bass guitarist Glenn Cornick. It reached No. 3 in the UK album charts.
More hard-rocking and transcended from blues influences than its predecessor, Stand Up, it also incorporated more advanced studio techniques, such as backward-recorded flute and piano, and sped-up guitar.

Gain is what one secures beyond what he previously possessed. Benefit is anything that does one good. Emolument is profit, return, or value accruing through official position. Expediency has respect to profit or advantage, real or supposed, considered apart from or perhaps in opposition to right, in actions having a moral character. Compare UTILITY.
