    词源记忆法
    古罗马时代,一个将军打了胜仗以后回到罗马城时,就要举行隆重的凯旋仪式,这种凯旋仪式拉丁叫triumphus,法语作triomphe,英语的triumph(凯旋,胜利)一词即源于此,意指“王牌”的牌戏术语trump也出自同源,它可以说是triumph之讹误或异体字。这两个词还可往前追溯到希腊语thriambos'a hymn to Dionysus'(赞美酒神狄俄倪索斯的圣歌)。来自古法语trompe,号角,喇叭,拟声词,词源同trombone,大号,长号。引申词义吹喇叭,大吹法螺,欺骗,捏造等。
    改写自triumph,胜利,凯旋。后用于指纸牌游戏出王牌,引申词义法宝,杀手锏等。

    小知识

    To trump is to outrank or defeat someone or something, often in a highly public way. Safety might trump appearance when you're buying a car, or your desires may trump your brother's when it comes to making weekend plans.

    In the card game bridge, the trump card is the most powerful card in a particular round and defeats all the others — sort of like when your needs or wishes trump someone else's. Originally trump implied a deceptive form of victory involving cheating, but that sense has been largely lost, though it's still around in the term trumped up, meaning something that's been falsely made up. A politician may face trumped up charges that could ruin his career.
