Vĭc'tor1, n.
n. [Lat. victor, from vincere, victum, to vanquish, to conquer; Pr. victor, It. vittore.]
Sense 1. The winner in a contest; one who gets the better of another in any struggle; especially, one who conquers in war; a vanquisher; one who defeats an enemy in battle;—often followed by at, rarely by of.
In love, the victors from the vanquished fly; They fly that wound, and they pursue that die. Waller.
A victor vanquishes in a single strife or contest; a conqueror gains a complete success, and entirely subdues his opponent; thus, we say, Alexander was a victor at Arbela, and the conqueror of Asia and of Darius.
Sense 2. Master; lord. [Rare.]
These, victor of his health, his fortune, friends. Pope.
