trump has 10 distinct synonyms spread across 5 of its 7 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a playing card in the suit that has been declared trumps
“the ace of trumps is a sure winner”
(card games) the suit that has been declared to rank above all other suits for the duration of the hand
