Some people frown upon the use of "leveraging" in formal writing. What would be a good alternative to the expression:
We will be able to investigate X leveraging from the knowledge of
Y.
None of the entries in thesaurus seem to neatly apply to the case. Any ideas?
Best Answer
Applying, using (and I suppose utilising, but frankly I'd much prefer leveraging to that), "making use of"
Your from is incorrect above, by the way. It should be "We will be able to investigate X, leveraging the knowledge of Y", and hence "We will be able to investigate X, applying the knowledge of Y" and so on.
