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 .
