Victory
Famous British warship
Victory is success in a contest, battle, or struggle—the defeat of an opponent or the achievement of a goal.
A team wins a victory, an army claims victory, a politician celebrates an election victory.
The word carries emotional weight: triumph, vindication, relief.
It was a hard-fought victory.
A hollow victory is won at too great a cost; a Pyrrhic victory destroys the victor along with the vanquished.
