What it means: Having won a game, contest, or battle.

In a sentence: The team felt happy and victorious after winning the big game. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: victory, victoriousness, victoriously, victor. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Victorious” comes from the Latin word “victoria,” meaning “victory,” which itself comes from “vincere,” meaning “to conquer” or “to win.” The suffix “-ous” turns it into an adjective, so being victorious literally means being “full of victory.”
