'Leverage' is an abstract noun meaning the power gained by using a lever, or the ability to gain such power. For example 'I tried to force the window open with a steel ruler, but I could not get any leverage on the frame.'
In recent years the word has also become popular as a verb, meaning 'to borrow capital to finance a deal, relying on the profits from the deal to cover the interest repayments.' It then expanded its meaning to the point of meaninglessness, and has now become empty corporate jargon, giving lazy thinkers an excuse for not having to decide what they really mean.
