victory: 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
