victory: [14] Latin vincere meant ‘defeat’ (it has given English convince, evince, invincible, and vanquish). Its past participle was victus, from which English gets convict, evict, victor [14] (etymologically a ‘defeater, conqueror’), and victory. => convict, convince, evict, evince, invincible, vanquish
c. 1300, "military supremacy, victory in battle or a physical contest," from Anglo-French and Old French victorie (12c.) and directly from Latin victoria "victory," from past participle stem of vincere (see victor). V.E. ("victory in Europe") and V.J. ("victory in Japan") days in World War II were first used Sept. 2, 1944, by James F. Byrne, U.S. director of War Mobilization ["Washington Post," Sept. 10, 1944].
