  1. down

    To defeat an enemy is to gain an advantage for the time; to vanquish is to win a signal victory; to conquer is to overcome so effectually that the victory is regarded as final.

An army is defeated when forcibly driven back; it is routed when it is converted into a mob of fugitives. Compare BEAT.
