palmarés

list of achievements

noun pahl-mah-RRES Rare

Origin: From French palmarès, from palme (palm of victory).

Also means

track record

Usage Note

Palmarés refers to a record of victories, titles, or achievements — most commonly used in sports: un palmarés impresionante (an impressive list of titles). The RAE recommends the plural palmareses, though the invariable los palmarés is also common. Borrowed from French, it carries a slightly elevated tone; in everyday speech historial de victorias or títulos might be used instead.

Examples

"Su palmarés incluye tres campeonatos mundiales."

Natural Translation

His track record includes three world championships.
