单词 vaincre
释义

vaincre

French

Etymology

From Old French veintre, later veincre, vencre, inherited from Latin vincere, present active infinitive of vincō, from Proto-Italic *winkō, from Proto-Indo-European *wi-n-k-, nasal infix from *weyk- (to overcome). The current pronunciation is influenced by the first-person singular indicative present form vincō. Compare also Spanish vencer.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /vɛ̃kʁ/
  • (file)

Verb

vaincre

  1. (transitive) to defeat, vanquish
    s'avouer vaincuto admit defeat; to give up
    • 1965 November, Carlo François, "Poésie d'André Marissel", in The French Review, American Association of Teachers of French, Volume 39, Number 2, pages 265–274,
      Le jardinier-poète sait parfois qu’il est fécond et que son Arbre est fertile. Ne vainc-t-il pas la mort chaque fois qu’il plante un arbre-poème?
      The gardener-poet knows sometimes that he is fecund and that his Tree is fertile. Does he not defeat death every time he plants a tree-poem?
  2. (intransitive) to win

Conjugation

This verb is conjugated like vendre, except that its usual stem vainqu- becomes vainc- when either there is no ending, or the ending starts with -u- or a written consonant. Additionally, when inverted the third person singular in the present adds the infix -t-: vainc-t-il? These are strictly spelling changes; pronunciation-wise, the verb is conjugated exactly like vendre.
