defeat普通用词,多指在战争、比赛、竞选或辩论中战胜对手,侧重胜利的暂时性。
beat口笔语均可用,可与defeat换用。
overcome多指战胜或克服非物质的东西,如困难和不良习惯等。语气较弱也可指在斗争或竞争中战胜或压倒对方。
conquer侧重战胜和控制。书面用词。
subdue正式用词,与conquer同义,但强调失败后的臣服状态;也可用作借喻,表克制、压抑感情、欲望等。
overthrow指彻底击败对手,使其丧失力量和地位。

14世纪晚期, defeten, diffaiten,“(因悲伤或愤怒)被克服”,源自盎格鲁-法语 defeter,来自古法语 desfait,过去分词形式为 desfaire,“撤销”,源自通俗拉丁语 *diffacere,“撤销,摧毁”,源自拉丁语 dis- “不,非”(参见 dis-)和 facere “做,执行”,源自 PIE 词根 *dhe- “放置,放置”。
从15世纪初开始,“带来毁灭,造成破坏”(现在在这个意义上已经过时); 从15世纪末开始,“挫败,阻止成功”。 “剥夺期望、渴望或奋斗的东西”的意义来自1530年代。 “在任何竞赛中战胜” 的意义来自1560年代。 相关词: Defeated; defeating。比较 defect, deficient。
