Conquer
(gcide) | Conquer \Con"quer\ (k[o^][ng]"k[~e]r), v. t. [imp. & p. p.
Conquered; p. pr. & vb. n. Conquering.] [OF. conquerre,
F. conqu['e]rir, fr. L. conquirere, -quisitum, to seek or
search for, to bring together, LL., to conquer; con- +
quaerere to seek. See Quest.]
1. To gain or acquire by force; to take possession of by
violent means; to gain dominion over; to subdue by
physical means; to reduce; to overcome by force of arms;
to cause to yield; to vanquish. "If thou conquer Rome."
--Shak.
[1913 Webster]
If we be conquer'd, let men conquer us. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
We conquered France, but felt our captive's charms.
--Pope.
[1913 Webster]
2. To subdue or overcome by mental or moral power; to
surmount; as, to conquer difficulties, temptation, etc.
[1913 Webster]
By winning words to conquer hearts,
And make persuasion do the work of fear. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
3. To gain or obtain, overcoming obstacles in the way; to
win; as, to conquer freedom; to conquer a peace.
Syn: To subdue; vanquish; overcome; overpower; overthrow;
defeat; rout; discomfit; subjugate; reduce; humble;
crush; surmount; subject; master.
Usage: To Conquer, Vanquish, Subdue, Subjugate,
Overcome. These words agree in the general idea
expressed by overcome, -- that of bringing under one's
power by the exertion of force. Conquer is wider and
more general than vanquish, denoting usually a
succession of conflicts. Vanquish is more individual,
and refers usually to a single conflict. Thus,
Alexander conquered Asia in a succession of battles,
and vanquished Darius in one decisive engagement.
Subdue implies a more gradual and continual pressure,
but a surer and more final subjection. We speak of a
nation as subdued when its spirit is at last broken,
so that no further resistance is offered. Subjugate is
to bring completely under the yoke of bondage. The
ancient Gauls were never finally subdued by the Romans
until they were completely subjugated. These words,
when used figuratively, have correspondent meanings.
We conquer our prejudices or aversions by a succesion
of conflicts; but we sometimes vanquish our reluctance
to duty by one decided effort: we endeavor to subdue
our evil propensities by watchful and persevering
exertions. Subjugate is more commonly taken in its
primary meaning, and when used figuratively has
generally a bad sense; as, his reason was completely
subjugated to the sway of his passions.
