   syn: to subdue; vanquish; overcome; overpower; overthrow;
        defeat; rout; discomfit; subjugate; reduce; humble;
        crush; surmount; subject; master.

   usage: to conquer, vanquish, subdue, subjugate,
          overcome. these words agree in the general idea
          expressed by overcome, -- that of bringing under one's
          power by the exertion of force. conquer is wider and
          more general than vanquish, denoting usually a
          succession of conflicts. vanquish is more individual,
          and refers usually to a single conflict. thus,
          alexander conquered asia in a succession of battles,
          and vanquished darius in one decisive engagement.
          subdue implies a more gradual and continual pressure,
          but a surer and more final subjection. we speak of a
          nation as subdued when its spirit is at last broken,
          so that no further resistance is offered. subjugate is
          to bring completely under the yoke of bondage. the
          ancient gauls were never finally subdued by the romans
          until they were completely subjugated. these words,
          when used figuratively, have correspondent meanings.
          we conquer our prejudices or aversions by a succesion
          of conflicts; but we sometimes vanquish our reluctance
          to duty by one decided effort: we endeavor to subdue
          our evil propensities by watchful and persevering
          exertions. subjugate is more commonly taken in its
          primary meaning, and when used figuratively has
          generally a bad sense; as, his reason was completely
          subjugated to the sway of his passions.
