conquerorn.

/ˈkɒŋkərə/

Forms: Middle English conquerur, Middle English conqueroure, conquerrour, Middle English–1600s conquerour, Middle English conquirour, 1500s conquerer, (Scottish concreour), 1500s– conqueror.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman conquerour, Old French conquereor (later conquereur , Cotgrave), oblique case of conquerere < Latin types *conquaerētōrem , *conquaerētor , agent-noun < *conquaerēre : see conquer v.Parallel forms in Provençal were quereire, enquereire, oblique case queredor. The corresponding nominative form in Old French would have -eire, -oire; but at an early date, this ending was conformed to -ere, the phonetic representative of the Latin nominative -ātor. The various oblique forms -ātōrem, -ētōrem, -itōrem had fallen together phonetically as -edor, whence -eor, -eur; and the nominatives were analogically levelled under the most frequent form -ere.

a. One who gains possession of a country, etc., by force of arms; one who subdues or subjugates a nation; one who conquers or vanquishes an adversary, a victor. (Cf. the synonymous conquestor n., conquesor n.)

b. Used as a distinctive surname or title of victorious princes; esp. in English History of William I, often referred to familiarly as ‘the Conqueror’.So far as English or Anglo-French evidence goes, there appears no reason to think that as applied to William I, this term or its corresponding medieval Latin conquæstor, conquestor, conquisitor (see conquestor n.) meant anything else than ‘conqueror’ in sense 1, = domitor or expugnator Anglorum, triumphator Angliæ of the contemporary chroniclers. The notion that conquestor had here only the sense of ‘acquirer’ or ‘purchaser’ as distinguished from ‘inheritor’ (see sense 2, and conquest n. 5, in Scottish Law), appears to have been first started by Spelman (or his posthumous editors), whence it was taken by Blackstone and later writers. The historical evidence as to the use of the word shows that the appellation Conqueror, Conquæstor was applied to William the Great, just as to Alexander the Great, to Charles the Great, to Jayme I of Arragon (el Conquistador), etc.[cf. a1400, a1500 at sense 1a.]
