Unconquered means never defeated or overcome. When something remains unconquered, no opponent has managed to beat it, no challenge has crushed it, and no force has brought it down.

The word appears often in history and sports. An unconquered army has never lost a battle. An unconquered mountain peak has never been successfully climbed. A team that finishes a season unconquered has won or tied every game without a single loss.

But unconquered describes physical victories and inner strength alike. A person's spirit can remain unconquered even after serious setbacks. Someone facing a serious illness might say their hope remains unconquered. A student who fails a test but refuses to give up has an unconquered determination.

When you hear about the “unconquered Seminoles” (Florida State's mascot), it refers to the Seminole tribe's history of resistance.

Unconquered suggests possessing a strength or resilience that others cannot break. It celebrates the power to stand firm against whatever tries to bring you down.
