Plural of victor; people who have won a victory, contest, or battle.
From Latin 'victor' (winner), related to 'vincere' (to conquer). The Romans used 'victor' as both a name and title, and it entered English through Norman French.
History is written by victors—the famous saying reminds us that the winners of wars and conflicts get to tell the story, which is why historians have to dig hard to find the other side's perspective.
