Etymology: "Triumphers" is the plural of "triumpher," formed from "triumph" plus the agent suffix "-er," meaning one who performs the action. The root "triumph" entered English through Old French "triumphe" from Latin "triumphus," the procession held in Rome to honour a victorious general. The Latin word probably derives from Greek "thriambos," a hymn sung in honour of Dionysus, though how that hymn connects to the Roman parade is uncertain.
