Description:

The term 'trofi' was borrowed from the English 'trophy', likely during the early period and settled into the language during the middle period, being fully established by the early modern period. 

In a noun context, a trofi is a literal award for winning something or something that metaphorically serves that purpose. The domain is primarily sport, but it is really extended to other domains.

Trofi is less used in a verb context, but it is generally treated as a transitive skurun verb meaning to take something as a trophy. 

The modifier form trofis has the sense of something being metaphorically a trophy. All example of a set phrase familiar to English speakers is 'ny trofis katen', a 'trophy spouse', typically someone young and attractive married to someone older and wealthy.
