OriginLate Middle English: from Old French triumphe (noun), from Latin triump(h)us, probably from Greek thriambos 'hymn to Bacchus'. Current senses of the verb date from the early 16th century. trump from early 16th century: The word trump, ‘a playing card of the suit chosen to rank above the others’, is an alteration of triumph, which was once used in the same sense. The Latin source of triumph (Late Middle English) triumphus probably came from Greek thriambos ‘hymn to the god Bacchus’. In ancient Rome a triumph was the grand entry of a victorious general into the city. In some card games the trump suit is chosen before each game, while in others it is the suit of the last card dealt, which is turned over to show its face. This gives rise to the phrases come or turn up trumps, ‘to produce a better outcome than expected’, reinforced by the fact that a hand with many trump cards is likely to be a winning hand. In the expression the last trump, trump is a form of trumpet (Middle English). The instrument had strong military associations and comes ultimately from the same source as trump. Officers making public announcements would sometimes blow a blast on a trumpet to get people's attention. To blow your own trumpet comes from the idea of going out into a public space and making an announcement about yourself.
