The verb "trump" comes from card games where one suit is stronger (has priority) over the others. An example is Bridge. If Diamonds are trump, and I play the Ace of Spades (the highest card in the deck), my opponent can win the hand by playing the lowest card in the trump suit, the two of diamonds.
The two of diamonds trumps the ace of spades.
