Someone who conquers.

noun

  1. 1

    Someone who conquers.

    They were conquerors, and for that you want only brute force - nothing to boast of, when you have it, since your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others.

    Croatia, England's World Cup semi-final conquerors in Moscow in July, looked set to inflict their curse once more and relegate Gareth Southgate's side from the elite group when Andrej Kramaric's twisting finish put them ahead via a deflection off Eric Dier after 57 minutes.

Etymology

From Middle English conquerour, from Old French conquereor, from conquerre. By surface analysis, conquer + -or.
