defeatʹer noun

Synonyms: defeat, conquer, vanquish, beat, rout, subdue, subjugate, overcome. These verbs mean to get the better of an adversary. Defeat is the most general: "Whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same" (Thomas Paine). Conquer suggests decisive and often wide-scale victory: "A conquering army on the border will not be halted by the power of eloquence" (Otto von Bismarck). Vanquish emphasizes total mastery: The forces of Napoleon were vanquished at Waterloo. Beat, less formal, is often the equivalent of defeat, though beat may convey greater emphasis: "To win battles . . . you beat the soul . . . of the enemy man" (George S. Patton). Rout implies complete victory followed by the disorderly flight of the defeated force: An entire division was routed during the first hours of the war. Subdue suggests mastery and control achieved by overpowering: "It cost[the Romans]two great wars, and three great battles, to subdue that little kingdom[Macedonia]" (Adam Smith). Subjugate more strongly implies reducing an opponent to submission: "The last foreigner to subjugate England was a Norman duke in the Middle Ages named William" (Stanley Meisler). To overcome is to prevail over, often by persevering: overcome an enemy; overcome temptation; overcome a physical handicap.
