How Intel lost the Sony PlayStation business
A dispute over how much profit Intel stood to take from each chip sold to the electronics giant for the PlayStation 6 gave a leg-up to AMD, which clinched the deal.
7/03/2010 に "leg up"、9/10/2010 に "give a leg up on" を取り上げていましたが、すっかり意味を忘れてました。
辞書には "leg-up" も "give a leg up to" で掲載している辞書は見当たりませんでしたが、ニュースメディアでは "give a leg-up to" の用例は幾つもありました。
Examples of 'give a leg up' in a sentence (Collins)
Being the host nation offers a unique opportunity to give a leg-up to deserving athletes or a new sport.
Our growing wealth is prompting more of us to ask how we can give a leg-up to those less fortunate than ourselves.
On the bright side, the inheritance often gives a leg-up to grandchildren for their first-time buyer's deposit.
意味は語源を思いだせば浮かんでくる句ですね。
