Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all three occurrences. At 2:251 an opposing host is actively defeated, while 38:11 and 54:45 describe a gathered force as defeated in participial and finite passive constructions. All occurrences converge on the breaking of a collective opponent in conflict. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
