One who overcomes [something]. I was surprised to find this word in the dictionary, having thought it to be a neologism of some Society writer. I found it 17 times in my online literature collection. In every single case it appears standalone, never saying `overcomers of this or that'. The object they overcome is always explained in the preceding sentences. We can be overcomers by relying firmly on the ransom. [w90 12/15] In every instance the context seems to be related to Christians' having faithfully ``conquered the world''. (1Jo 5:4)
