prevalecerán

Prevalecer is a Spanish verb that means to prevail, to be more powerful, to dominate, or to endure and be more relevant or lasting than something else. It can be used intransitively or with prepositions such as sobre or frente a, indicating that one side, idea, or force prevails over another.

The form prevalecerán is the futuro simple (simple future) in the third person plural, translating as “they will prevail.” This future form is built from the infinitive prevalecer with the standard -án ending for -er verbs. While the present tense of prevalecer is irregular in the yo form (prevalezco), future forms—including prevalecerán—are regular: prevaleceré, prevalecerás, prevalecerá, prevaleremos, prevaleceréis, prevalecerán.

Usage and nuance: prevalecer is commonly used in political, social, legal, and competitive contexts to describe outcomes where one idea, group, or value comes out on top or endures against opposition. It can emphasize strength, durability, or long-term dominance, rather than a temporary victory. Related verbs include vencer, triunfar, predominar, and imperar, which share the sense of surpassing others.

Etymology: prevalecer comes from the Latin praevalēre, formed from prae- “before” and valēre “to be strong.” The sense evolved in Spanish to describe prior strength translating into lasting influence or success. The term appears in historical and contemporary discourse to discuss which forces or ideas endure over time.
