A conqueror is a person — often a king, general, or army leader — who takes control of a country or people by force, usually through war. It's a word from history books; William the Conqueror, who took over England in 1066, is the example most students meet first. It isn't used for everyday winning — you wouldn't call someone a "conqueror" for winning a card game.
征服者
組成"con-" (thoroughly, together) + a root meaning "to seek or obtain" — the same root behind "quest" and "conquest." A conqueror is someone who thoroughly seeks out and seizes control.
