Etymology: "Vanquishments" is the plural of "vanquishment," a noun meaning the act of defeating someone or something decisively. The plural form simply counts separate acts of conquest, so a list of victories becomes a list of vanquishments. The word is built from "vanquish" and the suffix "-ment." "Vanquish" came into English through Old French "vencus" and "vencer," from Latin "vincere," meaning "to conquer," and the same Latin root gave English "victor" and "victory." The suffix "-ment," borrowed from French and ultimately from Latin "-mentum," turns a verb into a noun naming the act or result of that verb, as in "judgment" or "settlement."

Synonyms: defeats, conquests, overthrows, subjugations
